Hi, I am proposing the following dates for the QEMU 11.1 release schedule. Please let me know if you see any issues with public holidays, upstream/downstream releases, etc.
I CCed everyone who had more than 100 commits merged since QEMU 10.2 in order to bring this to the attention of the most active developers and maintainers. 2025-04-22 Beginning of development phase 2026-07-07 Soft feature freeze. Only bug fixes after this point. All feature changes must be already in a sub maintainer tree and all pull requests from submaintainers must have been sent to the list by this date. 2026-07-14 Hard feature freeze. Tag rc0 2026-07-21 Tag rc1 2026-07-28 Tag rc2 2026-08-04 Tag rc3 2026-08-11 Release, or tag rc4 if needed 2026-08-18 Release, if we needed an rc4 Here is the wiki page: https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/11.1 Stefan
