Hi all

Latest status for release is:

* Release notes are ready on blender.org and wiki.
* Still waiting for splash screen, presumably we get that very soon.
* Regression tests have not revealed any showstoppers yet, but we keep
testing and investigating.
* With some luck we can commit splash, version bumps and call release
ahoy in a few hours?

Regarding some specific issues that came up:

* modifier_stack/array3.blend: array modifier is slow with bmesh, but
is know issue with bug in tracker.
* compositing/zmask_compo.blend: particles are different, but also
happens in 2.62, may just be broken compatibility for settings
affecting hair length.
* Bug #31084: file crashing blender on load, this only happens in
debug build due to assert(), but appears to be working ok in release.
So not a showstopper in my opinion.
* Bevel modifier with duplicated edges mentioned by Sergey: no idea
what status of this is or if it is a showstopper, it's not a bug in
tracker?
* It does seem like quite a few regression test files are not working
entirely and need to be updated, will keep investigating into reports
on IRC and here to see if they are actual bugs/showstoppers.
