Re: [Csnd-dev] Csound 7.0

I'd like to propose we tentatively target December 1st for a release
(3 weeks from today). I'm juggling a number of things at the moment
but would like to do some stress testing before it goes out, as well
as do some additional work on the Java CsoundFFM library (and update
the Csound API examples for that) for the release. I think there were
also some additional changes to be worked out for the WebAudio build
for setjmp/longjmp and build system that would be good to have for the
release. If any blockers come up in the next few weeks, we could still
extend out a week or two and it'd still be before the Christmas/New
Year holiday time.

Additionally, the module system changes are coming along. With other
things going on, I imagine that'd be ready in the next couple of weeks
but would need a fair amount of testing and experimentation with the
community. Assuming all goes well, I think a January release of that
could work.
