[guardian-dev] Guardian-dev Digest, Vol 47, Issue 10

[David Oliver]

Re our release of Courier, I'd like to thank Shawn, Mikael, and Carrie for
the final push, including Ukrainian and Russian language support, and to
Hans for getting it built on the new build infrastructure (with super
secure key!).
