The second release candidate
of UHD version 3.13.1.0 has been tagged and is available for testing.
It has been a little while, but we deliberately slowed down to fix several issues in an attempt to make UHD more stable. There have been 150 commits since the 3.13.0.2 release just 4 months ago and we have had 2 release candidates that were deemed not worthy to turn into releases. We are hopeful that this release candidate meets the criteria.
This release candidate is API compatible all 3.13 releases, but is an ABI change from the previous 3.13.0.2 release.
