release notes: bump 4.8.0 date for second attempt
We failed to get a full quorum to reproduce the prior git tag.
The android apks were problematic to reproducibly build.
should be fixed by https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/10739
here we go again
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a release date in the RELEASE-NOTES file from July 2, 2026 to July 8, 2026. It is a documentation-only update explaining that the previous release attempt did not achieve full reproducible-build quorum, particularly for Android APKs. There are no code changes and no security fix or vulnerability introduced in this commit.
No security action required; this is a release-metadata documentation change. Review PR #10739 separately if interested in the reproducible-build fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
Single-line diff in RELEASE-NOTES updating the 4.8.0 release date. The commit message references a prior git tag reproducibility issue and an Android APK reproducible-build problem addressed in PR #10739. No source code, build scripts, or cryptographic material is modified.
