Most of the remaining tasks here are related to the guessers interface - if there's anything left please raise it here, but please make sure it can be completed in the next week.

I'm tentatively adding encore deprecation (#4274); since we're going the route of just adding deprecation warnings I should be able to get that up shortly, so assuming no hiccups and if someone is able to throw eyes over that would hopefully be done for the 20th.

As communicated in discord, we need to fix API breakage due to the guessers (see #4748 for a summary) before we can release 2.8.0.

@IAlibay could you please update this issue with information about extending the feature freeze or any other information for how to move forward? Just so that we have a central place to send people to. Thanks.

@orbeckst we need to fix the things from #4748 and then try to do a release. Unfortunately weekdays are super hectic for me, especially Monday->Wednesday.

My initial take is "we'll need to make it a prolonged feature freeze", since I won't be able to sit down for a whole day to do a release, but I want to discuss this at the business meeting on Thursday.

Roughly I'm thinking I can start the release ~ Thursday (if we can merge everything by then), and then I'll ltry to spend some time over the weekend to try to finish it, probably aiming to unfreeze ~ Monday if everything goes well.
