Hi @dev, Thanks for working hard for the 1.5 release, since there has been several release blockers (mostly fixed). We are extending the code freeze to Friday 05/22/2019. Right now we are tracking the following 5 open PRs[1][2][3][4][5] and 1 issue[6]. Please let us know if you need more time.
I would like to encourage all downstream projects to test with latest MXNet to avoid any incompatibility in the coming 1.5.0 release. If you have any issues that may block the release, please let us know. Thank you very much.
