Hi all, This to continue the discussion on the planning of the 1.3 release. With the slight delays in 1.2, we're a little more than a week behind schedule for 1.3. The wiki page ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/1.3.0+-+Apache+Fineract) has been updated with the new schedule to reflect the following:
QA: Dec 14 - 26 Publish Release Notes: Dec 26 Vote on Release: Jan 1 Target Release Date: Jan 7 The list of tickets that are ready to be merged or currently under development has been updated at 1.3.0. No additional tickets will be added to the scope of the 1.3.0 release - any new contributions that get raised will be targeted for the 1.4.0 release. Some of the enhancements to be included include the GSIM and GLIM work led by Nikil, performance enhancements including parallelization of batch jobs led by Kumaranath, and the notifications framework done previously by Courage. *Help the community out and build merit!* P1 bugs that couldn't be addressed during this release cycle have been tagged with 1.4.0 fix version. We welcome any volunteer contributors to work on some of these P1 issues. Once again, I ask that if you have a contribution that you've worked on or would like to make, please begin discussing it on-list so we can aim to get it into 1.4.0. The planned cutoff date for new features going into 1.4.0 is January 7.
