Hi Divij,

Thanks for the release plan.

I wonder if we should wait a little more as 3.5.0 was released on June
15th. Releasing 3.5.1 a month after seems not enough in order to have time
to catch bugs in 3.5.0. I think that we usually release the first minor
release ~3 months after the major one. Is there a reason to release it in
July?

As a side note, we don't have a formal code freeze for minor releases.

Best,
David
