Leo 6.8.9 coming soon

[Edward K. Ream]

I have moved the tentative release date for 6.8.9 to Friday, May 29.

The recent work on abbreviations removes something (the double-comma Easter Egg) that could confuse newbies (or long-time Leonistas!)  Félix and I agree that this change merits an earlier release.

Please continue testing the "devel" branch.

No problem. Considering your progress on PR #4696, I've rescheduled Leo 6.8.9 for June 5.

I've reschedule the release date to Friday, July 5 to give us more time for testing.

Oops: I meant Friday, June 5.
