This -rc1 was supposed to be released 18 days ago,
so we are late in the schedule, sorry about that.
We should try to close -rc2 during the first week of November.
It means we have less than 2 weeks remaining
for adding new features in the drivers.
Adding features in libraries after -rc1 would be an exception,
but it is possible.

Thank you everyone
