Maxima 5.16 release branch scheduled for August 1



Hello,

I am planning to make a release branch for Maxima 5.16 on August 1.
Stuff committed before August 1 will be in the 5.16 branch.

I am going to change the numbering scheme a little.
Before there were release candidates rc1, rc2, etc and the last
release candidate became the 5.nn.0 release.
This time 5.16.0 will be equivalent to rc1, 5.16.1 equivalent to rc2, etc.
The stable release will be 5.16.1 or .2 or thereabouts.
That saves the trouble of repackaging the final rc as the official release.

best

Robert Dodier
