Hi everyone, Since Friday, January 23rd, OVN is effectively in the "soft freeze" state in preparation for the branching and release of OVN 26.03.0. As per Documentation/internals/release-process.rst, this means:
During the freeze, we ask committers to refrain from applying patches that add new features unless those patches were already posted for public review and had received public review feedback on the mailing list before the freeze began. Bug fixes are welcome at any time. Please propose and discuss exceptions on ovs-dev. The 26.03 branch is scheduled to be created in ~4 weeks from now, on Friday, February 20th and the release should be another 4 weeks later, on Friday, March 20th. There are currently, on the mailing list (and in patchwork), quite a few patch sets that have already been discussed and reviewed to some reasonable extent (for some of them changes have been requested). All these, of course, qualify for potential acceptance in 26.03.0. If there are new patches that never been reviewed or have not been posted yet, please propose an exception in reply to this email and we can discuss further. In my opinion, one not-yet-posted series that should be treated as an exception, is the follow up work requested for [0]: "[ovs-dev] ovn-nb, ovn-nbctl: Add ID column to Network_Function table." which implies that a significant change needs to happen inside the implementation of the Network Function feature - this change has only informally been discussed on-list, the patch is yet to be posted. However, in order to avoid upgrade issues post 26.03 it's preferable if we include this work in the current release.
