[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 7.8.6

Mon Jun 28 04:59:29 PDT 2021

The grass7 branch of the grass-addons repo is now in the state we want and
is usable. Now we need to make the official switch. Do you plan it for
7.8.6 or will leave it for 7.8.7? The other part is to redirect
contributions to the grass7 branch instead of the master branch.

I will do the "Create branch (from grass7 branch) for v8 (named grass8)"
step once this is settled.
