What's new in 2.9.3, 2.8.8, and 2.7.16
--------------------------------------

These releases are maintenance releases containing security fixes for
CVE-2019-14904 (solaris_zone module) and CVE-2019-14905 (nxos_file_copy module),
as well as various bugfixes. The full changelogs are at:

* 2.9.3
* 2.8.8
* 2.7.16


What's the schedule for future maintenance releases?
----------------------------------------------------

Future maintenance releases in the 2.9 series will occur approximately every 3
weeks.  So expect the next one around 2020-02-06. The 2.8 series is only accepting
critical bugfixes, and the 2.7 series is only accepting critical security
bugfixes, so releases will occur only as necessary.

------------

We've published a porting guide at
help migrate your content to 2.9.

that doesn't.

Thanks!
