I've prepared a release for 8.0.0 (RC1). There was an issue with
HTTP/2 that was causing the server to crash and this release has a fix
for it (PR 4225). I am going to extend the vote until next Tuesday

I've tried building the RC1 but the compilation failed. It seems that something
is wrong with the webp_transform experimental plugin:

../libtool: line 7486: cd: ../lib/cppapi: No such file or directory
libtool: error: cannot determine absolute directory name of '../lib/cppapi'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:4019: experimental/webp_transform/WebpTransform.la] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/trafficserver-8.0.0/plugins'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:5465: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/trafficserver-8.0.0/plugins'
make: *** [Makefile:859: all-recursive] Error 1

Note that, on Debian systems, you need to install libmagick++-dev to
reproduce the build failure.

I will try to reproduce the issue today. I am in a meeting right now and will look at it in a bit.
