Some things have impacted the release (besides the typical lack of  
time):

1) Our "bugs" database has been down for a while now. Unfortunately, I  
am very reliant on it for planning releases and am working to  restore  
it. Once restored, I'll go through it to see if we are missing  
anything necessary for the release. As to my progress on it: I thought  
I'd have it done last weekend:) but hopefully, it'll be today or  
tomorrow.

2) We have a bunch of new modules in beta and some of them have new  
features and bugs that have caused breakages. We are almost done  
testing them. Turns out that this is a great pressure to release 1.0.8  
as the current stable is no longer "stable".

So, I'll give it my best shot to have it done by Monday.
