Happy New Year, everyone! Focus -----
Feature work and major refactoring should be well under way as we approach the third milestone and various feature and release freeze dates. The deadline for non-client library releases is R-5 (19 Jan). We do not grant Feature Freeze Extensions for any libraries, so that is a hard freeze date. Any feature work that requires updates to non-client libraries should be prioritized so it can be completed by that time. Release Tasks ------------- As we did at the end of Newton, when the time comes to create stable/ocata branches they will be configured so that members of the $project-release group in gerrit have permission to approve patches. This group should be a small subset of the core review team, aware of the priorities and criteria for patches to be approved as we work toward release candidates. Release liaisons should ensure that these groups exist in gerrit and that their membership is correct for this cycle. Please coordinate with the release management team if you have any questions. General Notes ------------- We will start the soft string freeze during R-4 (23-27 Jan).
