Hey all, You've likely seen the "New branch and feature freeze for Solr 9.5.0" email, but in case you haven't:
branch_9_5 is now created and "feature freeze" for it is currently in effect. There are no 9.5 blockers afaik, so my plan is to leave a few days for any lingering bugs folks might want to squeeze in and then try for an RC this Thursday.
