Turning off notifications because IRL. Summon me if you need me.

Roger that, thanks @wiredfool

One week left. Are there any pull requests or issues that people would like to see completed for this release?

[aclark4life]

@radarhere Good question. @wiredfool are you on the release tip for 2.9.0 or am I?

[wiredfool]

IRL is getting crunch time again, despite what it's looked like the last couple of weeks. So I'd like it if you'd be release manager.

The only pr I'm hoping to get into is the exif/tiff one. My gut on that is to run it in legacy mode with a deprecation warning for a release or two before flipping to the new api. But I need to test it against old in the wild code.

[aclark4life]

@wiredfool No prob! Will do

[radarhere]

Maybe someone is just still getting around to looking at it, but I'd be keen for #1282 to be merged before release, just because otherwise, it means that the n_frames method is being released for the first time with an off-by-one bug in GifImagePlugin.

Commence 24 hour clock! On expiration, we ask @cgohlke for binaries

Thank you @cgohlke

Not strictly about 2.9.0, but if you're watching this repo, it'd be good to also watch the https://github.com/python-pillow/pillow-wheels/ repo so we don't forget about PRs like this:

Thanks!
