Intent to release 3.7

Intent to release 3.7

[Petr Lautrbach]

Hello,

It's been almost 6 months since the last release so we're going to start
the release process.

I'll tag and announce 3.7-rc1 on next Wednesday, May 22, 2024 and
continue with next rcX every two weeks. The target for the final release
is Wednesday, June 19, 2024.

Intent to release 3.7

[Petr Lautrbach]

Hello,

It's been about 6 months since the last release so we're going to start
the release process.

Original plan was to ship final release before end of the year, but
given the number of changes delivered to the mailing list in last day, I
think it'll better to postpone 3.8 to January 2025

I'll tag and announce 3.8-rc1 on next Wednesday, November 27, 2024 and
continue with next rcX every two weeks. As written above the target for
the final release would be at the beginning of the next year.

Sounds good to me.
Some patches that might deserve a look:

I. Changing the lstat64(2) call to plain lstat(2), to improve compatibility.
Suggested on GitHub[1] and reported on the Debian Bug Tracker[2].

[2]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087016

II. Always build for LFS mode on 32-bit archs
Originally reported in February[3] and updated in March[4].
Patch looks good to me.
