Hi all, Release status:
Currently, for release 1.3.0 there are a couple of issues open which needs to be resolved before cutting RC. The current date we are looking at for cutting RC0 is 08/17(Friday). Open issues which need to be looked at before cutting RC: 1. Topk regression issue <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/12197> - #12202 PR with fix <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12202> 2. Excessive memory allocation issue <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/12116> - #12184 PR with fix <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12184> 3. Test_io.test_csvIter breaks on CentOS <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/12139> - #12189 PR with fix <https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12189> @committers, could you please help review these PRs and get them merged?
