[Nexus-developers] Releasing NAPI v4.0.1

[Nick Maliszewskyj]

The end of August need makes for a compressed testing schedule. I say
Freddie should give the high sign regarding the outstanding tickets before
we issue a request to test. Then give that process a week. The optimist in
me says we could make your date and stay within our desired new release
process (at least for a minor minor release). :)
