We are approaching the point at which the current version of Git master
is ready for release as Poly/ML 5.7.1. Version 5.7 introduced a number
of significant changes and it has taken quite a bit of work since then
to fix various bugs and sort out performance issues. I've been working
with Makarius on dealing with those that affect Isabelle and we now seem
to have dealt with everything. I'd like to ask everyone to try out the
current version and let me know if there is anything that would stand in
the way of a release.
