Hi, no issues came up today, this is just a reminder that if you want to
assist in making sure sorcery 1.12.0 is as stable as possible, switch
to test sorcery sorcery soon. If you have a mission critical system and are
not willing to take /any/ risks with it, now would be the time to move to
stable sorcery.

If there at the end of the next 24 hours there are no issues I'll do the
integration to test sorcery. I'll send out another message at that time.

To change sorcery branches if you dont already know, do the following
# sorcery
goto Options menu ->
goto Sorcery Branch
select Stable/Test Sorcery
exit the sorcery menu
# sorcery update
run sorcery --version to verify that you're using sorcery 1.11.4.
