1.8.0.0

Evidently, the monthly release schedule has slipped. It's been more than three months!

I'm just curious - is there anything blocking a new release, or is it just a case of someone having the time to drive it (I'm not volunteering, unfortunately)?

In the monthly HLS meeting, it was discussed (maybe even decided?) that the monthly release is not viable at the moment.
I think, we need to come up with a new release cycle, or with enough automation (which is my favourite) s.t. releases are not a lot of work.

There are also plans to use the OpenCollective funds to pay for HLS releases, @michaelpj and the HF are driving it
