Create release of prerelease versions?

[realsimix]

Hi Sergey,

Would it be possible that you create a release of prerelease versions like 4.8.91? Since I'm maintaining RPM packages also for older distributions, it would make it easier for me to create such prereleases and test them. Problem is, the whole GNU auto* stuff is not new enough on such systems.

Thanks, Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for pinging me :)

Yes, given the amount of changes and prior testing, it merits a release. I have released version 4.9.
