After last week's batch of releases for YUI, Yeti, and Pure, the team has begun working towards the next cycle of releases. Announced this week was the Sprint 9 development schedule, which began on July 23rd and concludes with a stable release on August 27th. The next milestone for this sprint is the Aug 11th code freeze pull request deadline. So for anyone working towards backwards incompatible updates, that is your deadline to submit a pull request.
