All,

I'm proud to announce 1.25.0-rc.0, the first release candidate in the 1.25.0 series. The tarball links for it are below, the tag is in Git[0].

Please note that this is a release candidate and not a final release, there may still be outstanding issues you might encounter.

Developers: please have a look at the release and make sure it's working, especially with your extensions. The REL1_25 branches for core and extensions are where you want any patches to be included.

[0] I messed up tagging, so if you fetched core during the hour-ish that I had the wrong tag, you may need to delete the local tag prior to fetching. 4badf14 is the correct sha1.
