Focus ----- We're approaching feature freeze deadline so teams should be wrapping up feature development as we approach the final milestone 29 Aug - 2 Sept.
General Notes ------------- The upcoming third milestone marks the start of several freezes in our release cycle to let us shift our focus to bug fixes and generally hardening the release. The general feature freeze allows teams to wrap up Newton and start thinking about Ocata planning. We freeze releases of all libraries and changes to requirements between the third milestone and the final release to give downstream packagers time to vet the libraries. Only emergency bug fix updates are allowed during that period, not releases for FFEs. We start a soft string freeze at the milestone to give translators time to catch up with the work that has already been done this cycle. A hard string freeze will follow two weeks later at R-3. Release Actions --------------- The last day for releases for non-client libraries will be 25 Aug. File your release request in time to have the release done on the 25th. Review the members of your $project-release group in gerrit, based on the instructions Thierry sent on 15 Aug. You may not be able to merge patches during the release candidate period if the group membership is not set correctly. Important Dates --------------- Library release freeze date Aug 25. Newton 3 milestone, Sept 1.
