Dear community,Wishing you a Happy New Year! I'd like to propose the release schedule for Xen 4.19. Based on the previous release schedules [1] and [2], it seems the next release date should be on Wednesday, July 10, 2024: ** Proposed option: Wed Jul 10, 2024 ** (+9 months from Xen 4.18 release) - Last posting date Fri Apr 26, 2024 Patches adding new features are expected to be posted to the mailing list by this date, although perhaps not in their final version. - Feature freeze Fri May 17, 2024 (+3 weeks from Last posting date) Patches adding new features should be committed by this date. Straightforward bugfixes may continue to be accepted by maintainers. - Code freeze Fri May 31, 2024 (+2 weeks from Feature freeze) Bugfixes only. - Hard code freeze Fri Jun 21, 2024 (+3 weeks from Code freeze) Bugfixes for serious bugs (including regressions), and low-risk fixes only. - Final commits Fri Jul 05, 2024 (+2 weeks from Hard code freeze) Branch off staging-4.19. - Release Wed Jul 10, 2024 If there are no objections, we will stick to the proposed schedule. One more thing I'd like to discuss is whether to add a file (RELEASE.md) with the release schedule to the source code or update an existing one (xen-release-management.pandoc). I think it will help to find the final release schedule for the nearest release. For example, for the previous release, there are a lot of emails with proposed schedules, polls of Xen release schedules, and I found the final release schedule in just one of the replies (but probably I missed something).
What about putting it into the wiki under Xen_Project_X.YY_Release_Notes? That way it would already be accessible via SUPPORT.md (in the wiki under https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable-staging/support-matrix.html ). Juergen
