The announcement message[1], from Sun Jan 21, informs that 1.7.990 corresponds to 1.8-rc1. From the list of 1.5.99x releases, which spans several months, I believe that 1.8 will unlikely be released before the end of February. Notice that I'm sympathetic to upgrading the Buildroot package to 1.7.990, since this release includes the quectel plugin. Currently I need to maintain that change as a local patch in my BR2_LOCAL. 1. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2018-January/006157.html -- Carlos Santos (Casantos) - DATACOM, P&D ?The greatest triumph that modern PR can offer is the transcendent success of having your words and actions judged by your reputation, rather than the other way about.? ?
