Does anybody of the devs have an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the stable 1.12 version? 
Rough estimate would be much appreciated.
We are now in Phase 2 of the 1.12.0 release and are focused on critical cherry-picks, stability testing etc. so are close to the release. You can track the progress in the same tracker.
Yippie! Thanks for the info and thanks for the awesome work all of you are doing!
