Hi, Here is the schedule I'm proposing for the 3.4 release, including feedback fests and bug squashing weeks:
2019-05-20 to 2019-05-24: combined Feedback Fest and Bug Squashing Week During this week, the idea is to hold a typical Bug Squashing Week as well as ensuring that every pending pull request gets looked it. 2019-07-29 to 2019-08-02: Feedback Fest #2 The goal of the second feedback fest is to reduce the size of the pull request queue prior to feature slush. 2019-08-23: feature slush By feature slush, every significant new enhancement meant for 3.4 should have a LP bug with a 3.4-beta1 target and have an active pull request. I reserve the right to stretch the feature slush deadline a bit for branches that are close to being ready for review. 2019-09-06: feature freeze / string slush + beta1 release After feature freeze, no additional patches that add new features should be merged. On this date, updated templates will be made available for translators; while string changes between feature freeze and the release candidate are permitted, they should be avoided if possible. A beta release will be cut that day (or if need be, on the following Monday) for the sake of the Bug Squashing Week, so unlike previous releases, the feature freeze deadline will _not_ extend into the weekend. 2019-09-09 to 2019-09-13: Bug Squashing Week 2019-09-16 beta2 release Once the second beta is released, only patches that fix bugs, resolve issues with the release, or improve translations should be merged. 2019-09-25: release candidate / string freeze Once the RC is released, only patches that resolve serious issues with the release or that improve translations will be accepted. Ideally, I18N aside, the release candidate would be identical to the general release. 2019-10-02: general release Many thanks to Terran for reviewing drafts of the schedule and confirming dates for the next two Bug Squashing Weeks. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the proposed schedule.
