The 2.38 branch is open for normal commits

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  The 2.38 release is now out, so the 2.38 branch is open for commits as
  normal.  Ie, there is no longer a need for all commits to be run past
  me.  Any maintainer can provide approval.

  As usual however please be aware that point releases from the 2.38
  branch are only likely to be made if an important bug has been fixed.
  (Or more likely, several important bugs have been fixed...)
  
  Point releases are not made for new features, so it is best to just
  use the mainline branch for new work.

Cheers
  Nick
