Was the release delayed?

[kyleconroy]

Yep. There are a few bugs on tip that I'm not comfortable releasing.

[kevinburke1]

This is the one issue we're seeing on tip - #1096

[fr3fou]

I really hope these issues also get fixed #1042 and #984

Could you maybe tag the current commit as e.g. "1.9.0rc1" or "1.9.0beta1" or something?

[kyleconroy]

The release infrastructure isn't great at handling this. Can you use the devel Docker tag?

If not, I can figure out how to cut a beta release without causing Homebrew to release a new version.

[kyleconroy]

I've updated the milestone. There are still quite a few blocking bugs, but I am going to release the current tip as v1.9.0-beta1.
