Hi all,
I would like to announce the code freeze of the 4.18 branch now.
From now onward, we will only accept critical/blocker issues or any
stabilization fixes. We have 70 open items in the 4.18.2.0 milestone [1]
at the moment. Most of them will be moved to the next milestone.
Currently, there is one critical issue [1]. Which has an open PR to fix
the same. I count on your support on working towards cutting RC1 in the
coming week.
Regards,
João Jandre

Hi, Rohit, all
I don't see any critical problems that should be addressed ASAP on the
4.18 branch; therefore, there should be no problem with postponing
4.18.2 a little bit. We still have several issues targeted at 4.18.2
that have yet to be addressed, so a couple more weeks before the
freeze could be good.
Yes, I still want to be the RM for 4.18.2. I triaged all the issues a
couple of weeks ago and removed/added some issues to the milestone as
I deemed necessary, but as Rohit said, if anyone has any issues/PRs
they want in 4.18.2, please ping me so we can discuss/address any
concerns.
That being said, here's the updated schedule I propose:
- Until the second week of March: accept bug fixes and minor
improvements;
- Third week of March: accept only blocker and critical bug fixes,
aiming to stabilize the branch;
- End of March: start cutting RCs, vote, and finish release work.
Best regards,
João Jandre

Hi Joao, all,
Given we’re only now more available after the major 4.19 release to
work on other releases, could we reconsider the timeline and come up
with an updated plan.
I think we should target early March to give us some space to work on
the issues and PRs. Joao - I’m assuming you still want to be RM for
the release, have you triaged the current issues and PRs to identify
the must haves and good to haves for 4.18.2 ? And anyone else have
any must have issues and PRs they want in 4.18?
Regards.
Regards.

I think we can push a week or two earlier on the proposed schedule, it
would look something like this:
- From now till the final week of January (1.5 months): accept bug
fixes and minor improvements
- First week of February: accept only blocker and critical bug
fixes,
aiming to stabilize the branch.
- Second week of February: start cutting RCs, vote and finish
release
work.
What do you think?
Best regards,
João Jandre.

Given, 4.18 branch is benefitting from maintenance work already, I
wouldn't mind if you want to push it earlier to even say end of Jan,
and target release in Feb 2024.
Regards.

Subject: [PROPOSE] ACS 4.18.2.0
Hi all,
As suggested on the 4.20.0.0 discussion thread (see
https://lists.apache.org/thread/nyoddmwydz2t59hsfs7gf0vozlf7n434), I'd
like to propose the release of version 4.18.2.0 with myself as the RM,
here's a rough timeline:
- From now till the second week of February (2 months): accept bug
fixes and minor improvements
- Third week of February: accept only blocker and critical bug
fixes,
aiming to stabilize the branch.
- End of February: start cutting RCs, vote and finish release work.
We currently have 7 open PRs [1] and 51 open issues [2] with
4.18.2.0 as
milestone, I believe the above timeline should give enough time to
solve
all concerns. In case anyone wants to include a bug fix or a pull
request in 4.18.2.0 milestone, please mention me (JoaoJandre) on
github.
If anyone has any suggestions, please voice them.
