[GNC-dev] German online banking users would need a 3.7 release before mid-September...

[Christian Stimming]

John,

today we finally got note from some users that bank servers which used to 
complain without the patch from 39cfcb30f939ca3c413350c8262ceea69085fb6b are 
now satisfied and all works fine. Hence, the next release 3.7, now scheduled 
for Sept 7th, would indeed be great.

Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Christian
