That is correct for the most part. There have been several newer issues added that don't have a 4.8.0 milestone that probably should, though. Trying to determine exactly what is blocking the release requires analysis to work out, which makes a list like that a lot of work to maintain. For sure we have a blocker if: 1. The solution to the issue requires a [breaking API change](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library-guidance/breaking-changes#source-breaking-change). See [Changes that affect compatibility](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/). 2. The solution to the issue requires a [breaking behavioral change](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library-guidance/breaking-changes#behavior-breaking-change). 3. It is a priority bug > NOTE: In general, we shouldn't have any breaking binary changes because for the most part we are using the same binary formats as Lucene. That said, there is an open task to add [tests to verify 2-way compatibility](https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/issues/270), as this hasn't been run for several years and there have been a large number of changes since then. If the feature requires an additive change, it can generally wait unless the priority is high (normal and low priority are not blockers, but are "could haves" that would be accepted if submitted as PRs). [Reviewing tests](https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/issues/259) is blocking the release. The tests we have reviewed so far have revealed that we are missing asserts and other test features. They have also revealed several other usability issues that need to be addressed, and I suspect the review may bring up a few more of those issues. And of course, making [ICU4N](https://github.com/NightOwl888/ICU4N) stable is also still a blocker (unless we opt to delay release of everything that depends on it). All of our other dependencies are stable, but some have up-for-grabs tasks that would be nice additions to have. In general, anything that is using the [Future milestone](https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/milestone/4) can wait until after the release. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
