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.
