Upcoming 19.07.4 and 18.07.9 stable releases

[Baptiste Jonglez]

Hi,

New point releases for 19.07 and 18.06 are starting to be overdue, and I
would like to help 19.07.4 and 18.06.9 get released somewhere around
mid-August.

The main motivation are fixes for a libubox regression and for the musl
synchronisation bug, as well as a LuCI regression (see "release goals"
below).  But there are many other fixes, mostly device-related, that also
motivate these new point releases.  If you have more fixes to backport,
please consider doing so soon, especially for 18.06.9 which will likely be
the last release for 18.06.


The following links can be useful to track changes for 19.07:

While everything is mostly ready, the actual release will need somebody
with the rights to "push the button": https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/releases/making-service-release
