I found a tiny error in 0.8.6rc1. The leveldb subtree merge was done
incorrectly leaving an errant db/ directory in the base of bitcoin instead
of src/leveldb. See my earlier mail on 0.8.6 for suggested subtree squash
and merge syntax. (On plane now...)

I see:
db/autocompact_test.cc
... which I assume is a leveldb unit test file that should be in
src/leveldb/db/
Not a showstopper bug.
Given we've had hundreds of downloads and no reports of insanity, I think
we should tag v0.8.6 today (same commit as v0.8.6rc1) and ship it.

Our testing of the macos leveldb parts for the past 6 days has had zero
complaints of new corruption from OMG and LTC users. I agree it is time to
release 0.8.6.

Someone needs to update the bitcoin.org website, it still points downloads

Perhaps because 0.8.6 hasn't been released yet? Or did I miss the
announcement? I think it makes sense that release candidates are not
promoted on bitcoin.org.

It was released and it's all over bitcointalk/reddit

It has not been released. It's queued for announcement. We were
waiting for another independant gitian build before sending out the
announcement.

Why would it be made available for download at sourceforge.net if it's not
actually released? The files are available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.6/ and
people watch the sf rss feeds etc...
Seems to me like there needs to be a better release workflow. As far as the
world is concerned, they are downloading the 0.8.6 and there is a lot of
community buzz about it already.
IMO, to avoid that, no files should be placed online unless they are the
official release.

Because it takes time to put the files up, propagate to mirrors, check
by multiple people that the downloads work an the signatures pass.
Every release comes with a release announcement, you'll know its out
when you see the release announcement.
The alternative is that announcements go out and the files are not
correct, or hide the files in the release pipeline and allow less
public participation in the release workflow. I think that would be
unfortunate.

They *are* the official release as soon as they're uploaded. We may wait
for some extra gitian builds to be more confident and make the announcement
on the forums and such, but the downloads themselves don't change anymore.
It really doesn't matter in what order the different places are updated, as
long as the news is propagated everywhere within a reasonable time-span of
say a day. Requiring a certain order would require unnecessary coordination.
Don't make problems where they don't exist, we have enough actual issues.

That is exactly the point and the moment they are publicly available you
cannot stop people talking about it or noticing it, or posting official
looking sticky posts at bitcointalk like this one:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=364353.0. Was that an official
announcement?

Oh, I see - so it was. It wasn't announced here though - is there
some other list I need to be on, too? It would be nice if
announcements like this were posted to a mailing list as well as
bitcointalk.org (is there a bitcoin-announce list that I missed? If
not, maybe there should be)

Yes could have been announced here too.
We announced the rc1 here but not the final release.
...maybe we should add a list of places to announce to the release process.
