There's no significant code changes/features planned to get added to
the master branch from now until the 2.6-beta gets released (maybe in
about a week). Until that happens, please help test the latest master
branch and provide any feedback about how it's working if you can.

Hi again!
Just finished the migration to master across the board, and it's looking REALLY good.
No crashes, memory is stable, cpu is pretty good. The only thing I noticed is the manager userspace CPU utilization on one cluster
jumped up a bit after the switch.
This graph shows the system and userspace utilization across an 8 physical node cluster. All the lower lines are the system usage
and the higher lines are userspace. The Y axis is cpu seconds per second, so 4 is full 4 cores worth of usage.
After the switchover:
* the worker userspace cpu utilization was unchanged
* the worker system cpu utilization increased a bit, but I believe that is due to more time spent in the myricom driver waiting for packets
* the manager system cpu utilization dropped a bunch
* the manager userspace cpu increased 1-3x
The manager box in this cluster only runs the manager and logger processes, no proxies. It also has something like 20 idle cores,
so this isn't a problem at all, but could affect people who run a cluster-in-a-box.

I do seem to be seeing a bunch of reporter errors like
Reporter::ERROR string with embedded NUL: "\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00OPTIONS"
but I'm not sure if that is a new thing.
