[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot-0.8.0rc5, now with more fixes!

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

This release candidate:
 - fixes some encoding problems on the slave
 - adds retry logic for database lock conflicts
 - adds indices to avoid massive slowdowns

We are making great progress, and this is running successfully for a
number of people now, both with SQLite and MySQL backends.

    Calculate 'now' for scheduler loop ahead of time.

    When the master is over-loaded, it can take long enough between calling
    the schedulers and evaluating the results that the result from the
    scheduler's run() method is in the past.

    By calculating 'now' before running the scheduler's run method, the
    assertion that the scheduler's result is > 'now' should be true for
    well-behaved schedulers.
