s a new release out (Org 9.8 https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87cy1xalan.fs=
f@localhost/). Thanks to all who contributed! If you would like to help out=
, Ihor is looking for several volunteers https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maint=
enance.html#org073fcb4 who can try to reproduce bugs and do initial feedbac=
k on the new patches.
