When is 18.1.6 going to be released?

[elektroinside]

I need this info (if possible to disclose) because of some logistical decisions i need to make.

Thanks.

I've been waiting for 18.1.6 to release so I could ask when 18.1.7 will be released.

A watched pot never boils.

If we're at it and anybody knows this, yeah, 18.1.7 release date is also very good to know :p

Preparing for release on Monday for 18.1.6. We wanted to be done by now, but Easter came out of nowhere. And then we had to reschedule to pick up the latest FreeBSD advisories, too...

Thanks Franco!
Nice list

Will likely be a longer release note

I can roughly estimate that 18.7_1 will be out some time in July, but that's only a rough estimate.

15.1.1 2015-01-12
15.7.1 2015-07-08
16.1.1 2016-02-02
16.7.1 2016-08-02
17.1.1 2017-02-09
17.7.1 2017-08-31
18.1.1 2018-02-02

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.  But your rough estimate doesn't look promising.

_1 is not .1

18.1.6 is wrapped up and ready for release on Monday if no last minute showstoppers arrive. Release notes are larger indeed, but impact is low for most except for three good fixes for the WAN VIP NAT situation, unconditional VLAN for XEN as well as the fix for multi-WAN traffic shaping on non-default interfaces...
