Progress update: we're still working through pre-RC1 issues.

The very end of February is now the earliest possible date for 1.10 release.

The is on the basis that we will need at least a week or two to 
check/resolve the compatibility-with-1.9 findings that Philip reported 
yesterday, and then we have a 4 week minimum 'soak' time from producing 
a release candidate until it can be released. I am not aware of any 
other issues holding up the RC1 at this time.

Progress update:

* 1.9 compatibility testing is done. Philip determined that the mixed-
  version test failures are not release critical.

* We are aware of two blockers:

  - STATUS has r1820778 tagged as a blocker:
      https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4718

    Make the reporting of commit capabilites such as SVNDIFF version and
    PUT checksums depend on the master version when a master-slave proxy
    version is configured.  This allows 1.10 to be a slave proxy [...]

  - The protocol changes related to enabling LZ4/svndiff2 need to be
    documented in the release notes.

Mid-March is now the earliest possible date for 1.10 release.
