Hi devs, We'd like to share some highlights about the 1.18 release sync on Aug 15, 2023.
- Currently we have 2 blocker issues [1], [2]. We'll try to resolve these issues and then cut the 1.18 release branch assuming there are no new blockers. - Release testing is ongoing: currently 4 out of 28 release testing tasks are finished. Also, we'd like to thank all contributors who put efforts into stabilizing the CI on the master branch in the past weeks, and those who have already started release testing activities. The next release sync will be on Aug 22, 2023. Welcome to join us [3]!
