tanto main release:

A lot of risk was incurred late in the cycle by decisions to add NazeR6 support and the upgrader features. There was a lot of churn and the normal test cycle was disrupted.
The Lux target was problematic. There are insufficient users on it and regressions affected it a number of times and were undetected.
There was confusion with makefiles and thrash.
Two hotfixes were needed. The first one was minor, and added support for inverted SBus and corrected a long-standing problem with bootloader detection on Windows. Unfortunately, the first hotfix regressed PPM on Naze32, and required a second hotfix.

Renatus hotfix 1 (numbered 3 because there were two "bad" set of artifacts first):

Renatus main release:

The release operated without a formal schedule because we were unaware of scoping of branding changes and new targets. We have a better baseline to work from for future releases.
The event system changes skewed with at-the-time out-of-tree targets-- Lux, BrainFPV, Naze32Pro, etc. Because there were per-target changes, multiple downstreams missed the associated changes. Some thought should be given in the future about how to "forcibly break" downstream trees in a way that is obvious.
There were a few PRs that took multiple passes to get right and could have done with more thorough dev-testing and third-party-feedback. Input wizard and switch arming were the main ones, and I (@mlyle) was guilty.
A change was merged during the holiday period to alter default output rates that could have been harmful to physical servos (400Hz) and there was no community consensus behind.
Various issues lingered "in people's heads" to the end of the cycle. When we merge "incomplete" functionality there needs to be a blocking issue opened. This included the lack of user notification of usage tracking and the final items for crash reporting.
A hotfix was necessary because minor issues were missed during the cycle.
- Throttle reversal did not work in input wizard and was tricky to set up otherwise because of a range validation bug.
- BrainFPV alarms had been broken for a month and no one noticed :/
- The .deb package was missing firmware
- Lumenier LUX UART configuration was incorrect.
