I am now preparing for a bugfix release from branch branch_9_4 Please observe the normal rules for committing to this branch:
* Before committing to the branch, reply to this thread and argue why the fix needs backporting and how long it will take. * All issues accepted for backporting should be marked with 9.4.1 in GitHub, and issues that should delay the release must be marked as Blocker * All patches that are intended for the branch should first be committed to the unstable branch, merged into the stable branch, and then into the current release branch. * Only issues with Milestone version 9.4.1 and priority "Blocker" will delay a release candidate build. As I mentioned yesterday, I plan to merge this important fix into branch_9_4: https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/11861. I didn't hear from people about other changes that were important to backport and release. So my plan is to start building a release candidate soon, hopefully having it ready in a few hours, by the end of my day. Julie
