Hi devs, I'd like to share some highlights from the release sync on 02/27/2024
- Cross-team testing We've finished all of the testing work[1]. Huge thanks to all contributors and volunteers for the effort on this! - Blockers Two api change merge requests[2][3] had been discussed, there was an agreement on the second pr, as it is a fix for an unintended behavior newly introduced in 1.19, and we need to avoid releasing it to users. For the 1st pr, we suggest continue the discussing separately. So we will wait for [3] done and then create the first release candidate 1.19.0-rc1(expecting within this week if no new blockers). - Release notes Revision to the draft version of the release note[4] has been closed, and the formal pr[5] has been submitted, also the release announcement pr will be ready later this week, please continue to help review before 1.19 release, thanks! - Sync meeting (https://meet.google.com/vcx-arzs-trv) We've already switched to weekly release sync, so the next release sync will be on Mar 5th, 2024. Feel free to join!
