It's May 8th, so that means we're entering the stabilization phase for release 1.3. This means: * If you are a committer, don't check in changes that might break something. Cosmetic changes are OK, and bug fixes are OK, as long as they are reviewed. * If you have a project that depends on Calcite, or otherwise have some tough tests you can run, now is a great time to validate the release. Download and build from master, and log bugs if you encounter problems.
Once we've fixed the important issues discovered from that testing, we'll create the first release candidate and a vote. If people do some testing during the stabilization period, there is a good chance that the RC1 will pass muster. Let's aim for Tue 12th for RC1.
