Looks like 1.8 is tagged starting at 1.8.1. Will there be pre-built packages distributed

 Couldn't see anything new in http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/freeswitch-1.8

Also - I remember discussion about Debian Stretch issues(OpenSSL related).

What is the current status of Stretch and is that supposed to be the
reference platform for 1.8?

Thanks @FreeSWITCH team!
