Dear DuMuX community,

The time has come to collect our work for the next Dumux release: Dumux 3.2!

Regarding this exciting news, I would like to announce some scheduling aspects 
and other important information.

Please consider the following dates while developing new features and adding 
merge requests to Dumux:

== Soft Feature Freeze: 3. April, 2020 (3 weeks prior to the release) ==
- All major changes that should be included and are not yet committed should be 
announced. Add a comment to 
Issue#829<https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/issues/829> 
describing the feature and the areas affected by the change.
- Major changes not announced before the soft freeze will be reserved for the 
next release.
- The representative assigned to each major task will report on their remaining 
tasks.

== Hard Feature Freeze: 10. April (2 weeks prior to the release) ==
- All major changes must be committed before the hard feature freeze.
- Large invasive fixes are only accepted after consultation with the release 
manager (small fixes are ok).
- Try to get your bugs fixed, your tests included, and your documentation 
written before the hard feature freeze.
- The representative assigned to each major task will give a final report on 
what was finished and what must be postponed until the next release.

== Final Testing:  17. April (1 week prior to the release) ==
- No further commits are allowed, barring those performed by the release 
manager, or under the explicit authorization of the release manager.
- Release candidate packages will be provided.
- Tests will be performed on various systems, compilers, and under different 
conditions. Everyone should at least test their own tests!

== DuMuX 3.2 Release: 24. April 2020 ==
- Cold beverages, great discussions, and even better research code. If this 
celebration should need to occur virtually, we will set up a celebration telcon.


Looking forward to a fantastic release,

Ned
(Release manager DuMuX 3.2)
