Discussion
==========

* The grand.central.org database server at CMU has been restarted. Thank you
  Jeffery Hutzelman and Chaskiel Grundman for restoring the service.

* Ben to upload 1.8.11 final to grand.central.org cell.

* Fix to the rx/perf unit test was submitted by Cheyenne. It fixes a race
  between the server and client processes during startup causing a false
  test failure.

    15676 tests: rx/perf wait for server init before client

* Cheyenne reports one (small) change is required so far for Linux 6.9

    15708 Linux-6.9: file_lock mbrs moved to file_lock_core

* Ben will be merging the Linux 6.8 changes to the stable branch for Stephan.
