While reviewing your branch I noticed that the drop-down list is titled “Target Device” when it should be “Target USB stick.” I’ve fixed that in my branch. Otherwise, looks good!

Cool! Thanks for the careful review! I’ll merge this into stable so it’s live when 3.8 is released tomorrow.

Dear sajolida, FYI pushing to stable in the middle of the release process messes things up (currently it breaks the build from the stable branch and thus makes it harder to run the test suite on the 3.8 tag). So to fix that without losing your work I have:

  1. merged into web/release-3.8 what you had pushed to stable
  2. forced-push the previous, correct state to stable

If you need to merge doc changes during the release process, please merge into the web/release-$VERSION branch: it’ll be published at the same time as the release. Same for the release notes etc. :)

Oops, I thought about that but didn’t check the release process to see if it was fine. I should have checked with you on XMPP.

Sorry for the trouble!!!

> Sorry for the trouble!!!

No worries, I think it’s the first time our merge / release schedules conflict, and TBH “don’t touch the release branch during the release process if you’re not the IM” is not documented anywhere.
