Hi all, I would like to announce the code freeze now. From now onwards, we will only accept critical/blocker issues or any stabilization fixes. We have over 100 open items in the 4.19.0.0 milestone [1] at the moment. Most of them will be moved to the next milestone. Currently, as reported yesterday there is one blocker issue [2]. We are working on a fix for the same. We may also need some stabilization concerning the integration test. I expect support from all of you to work towards cutting RC1 in the coming week.

Also, we already have a possible blocker [1] reported on the main branch so looking into getting that fixed. I'll send an email tomorrow to announce the code freeze and will move the remaining open items to the next milestone. We will still work towards cutting RC1 in the coming week.

Many of them have not seen any update or progress lately so we will have to move them out of the milestone. Also, quite a few are now just waiting for integration test results or in the final phase. Based on this, I would like to propose, * Code freeze on the main branch starting 13 Dec 2023, accepting only critical/blocker issues (if any) * Cut RC1 in the week of 18-24 Dec 2023 Please let me know your thoughts. Also, if you have a PR/issue marked for the 4.19.0.0/4.18.2 milestone please keep an eye on any updates on it. Some of us have also got our feature/improvements already merged but documentation for the same is still pending so kindly make sure to progress on that.

Now we have around 123 open items in the milestone. We still have some interesting features and enhancements in progress. In addition to this, we are seeing some recurring test failures on the PRs including health-check which would need some work. Also, rest of this week a lot of us will be busy with CloudStack Collab 2023. Considering these I propose moving the timeline to the following, * Announce code freeze in early December 2023 * Cut RC1 thereafter in the first half of December 2023 Thank you for your understanding and support. Looking forward to meeting community folks in person in the next few days.

I think we are not going to make the dates mentioned anyway but want to reduce the delay as much as possible. Please be responsive on your PRs and issues if you want them in, I will not touch the milestones of any item that has had activity in the last week. hope you all forgive me one day, On Thu, Oct 26, 2023 at 12:50 PM Abhishek Kumar < abhishek.ku...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Update on the current state of the 4.19.0.0 milestone.
