It's been about 3 months since we started our last release discussion, and Jira shows <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17126?jql=project%20%3D%20SOLR%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%209.6.0%20ORDER%20BY%20issuetype%20ASC%2C%20status%20DESC> that we have:
5 bug fixes 1 feature (query time distributed stats disable) 11 improvements 7 sub tasks, several of which represent new features including CPU limited requests 3 tasks, including the upgrade to Lucene 9.10 Only two are not resolved, but one seems to have commits and the other had a PR ready in late Feb... It seems like there are quite a few things now that should be made more widely available to users. I'm happy to volunteer as RM, though it will be my first time so I may have questions. I propose that we cut the branch Next Monday April 15 and prepare the first RC. - Gus -- http://www.needhamsoftware.com (work) https://a.co/d/b2sZLD9 (my fantasy fiction book)
