We generally try to make the releases on a fixed 6-month cycle rather
than wait for features. By this time last year the release was already
in full swing so I don't want to wait much longer.

But, I do want to give folks a chance to return from vacations
(including myself). I think 14 January would be a good date to aim
for.

This would be the tentative schedule:

- 14 January 2015: Branch for 3.6.0 release
  All features should be basically ready. *Minor* changes to complete
things are accepted during Test Phase I.

- 14 January -- 21 January: Testing Phase I
  RC1 binaries are built and tested

- 22 January -- 29 January: Fix bugs from Testing Phase I
  All features should be complete. Any incomplete features need to be
turned off by default.

- 30 January -- 6 Feburary: Testing Phase II
  RC2 binaries are built and tested

- 7 February -- 14 February: Fix bugs from Testing Phase II
  Only critical bug fixes are accepted. The bugs fixed here are
release blockers.

- 21 February: Release 3.6.0.

If this looks OK, I'll post it on the web page.
