Hi all, Here's our release schedule for 12.4:
April 2: 12.4 Beta April 16: 12.4 Feature freeze April 21: Weekly Release Candidate 1 April 28: Weekly Release Candidate 2 (if needed) May 5: Weekly Release Candidate 3 (if needed) May 7 - 14: Voting May 15 - 30: Release We've had a few hiccups and delays and now we're a bit late for rc2. However, it doesn't look to me like we should need an rc3. Everything that was marked for Milestone 12.4 has been integrated: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release124/16/ What's new/changes for 12.4, a fuller document will be created closer to the release: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/milestone/12?closed=1 The fuller document is being put together here (though seems to be down at the moment), please document the features and fixes you have provided: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+12.4 Please try out your normal workloads as well as, if you've added new features or fixed bugs, please try out those features and fixes to make sure everything works as you expect. Feature freeze is behind us now, so only fixes for blocker issues are allowed this time. The rules are the following: - The blocker issue, if found, has to be announced and discussed on the developer mailing list first. Please note that if you have concerns about the licensing of some files/components please raise it now as those are considered blocking. - If there would be an eventual need of fix, please: - Mark the milestone as: 12.4. - Please add Neil and me as additional reviewers. That would also indicate that we do another release candidate when the issue is fixed. If everything goes right, this release candidate will become the voting candidate and the next action would be the vote on the release. Thanks, Gj
