got another ping to release so users can benefit from the relaxed version pinning - some issues are stuck should we postpone them?

[williballenthin]

#1978 i can do tomorrow. #2124 can slip to the next release.

[williballenthin]

i think there's a thorough linter failure that needs to be chased down before release, too.

[williballenthin]

let's see if we can deliver the release on Friday?

[mr-tz]

kicked off a thorough lint here: https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules/actions/runs/9483257885

[mr-tz]

friday sounds like a good goal!

[mr-tz]

thorough lint succeeded without issues

[williballenthin]

ah cool i must have been missing a test file locally.

[mr-tz]

all done, thank you!
should we move ahead with the release prep?

[williballenthin]

i won't have much more keyboard time today, but feel free to publish the release!

[mr-tz]

Alright, I'll start it today or tomorrow morning!
