Hi João, Thanks for managing the 4.20.0.0 release.
I am working on a PR (File System as a first-class feature in Cloudstack) which we can consider as a 'must have'. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Storage+Filesystem+as+a+First+Class+Feature Dev work is almost done, And I'll open the PR for review by the end of this month. But keeping the review and validation times in mind, it will be tough to meet the suggested dates. Can we postpone the freeze to early September? I believe that will give us enough time to get the feature merged with satisfactory quality. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Abhisar ________________________________ From: João Jandre Paraquetti <j...@scclouds.com.br> Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2024 12:24 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org>; d...@cloudstack.apache.org <d...@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] Update the 4.20.0.0 release schedule Hi Suresh, all I agree that we should release 4.19.1.0 before 4.20.0.0, also, there are some features missing on 4.20.0.0 still that I'd like to get in, so more time wouldn't hurt. That being said, here is the updated schedule I propose: - On the third week of August, we freeze the main branch. That means any feature must be in by the second week of August. Only accept critical/blocker issues until the last week of August. - On the last week of August, cut 4.20.0.0 RC1 and further RCs if necessary, start/conclude vote, and finish release work. What are your thoughts? Also, does anyone have any "must have" Issues/PRs for 4.20.0.0? If so, could you share them via this thread or ping me (@JoaoJandre) on Github? Best Regards, João Jandre.
