Hi Anoop, Release 10.3 was scheduled for August. However, as there were not enough PRs tagged for release 10, we had to defer the release for 3 more months. Considering that there is a basic functionality breakage scenario with Samba and considerable number of PRs already tagged and merged for release 10 at this point of time, I believe with Release and Build perspective, we are okay to initiate the release soon.
If there are any important PRs that are to be merged to release 10, I request maintainers to back port and tag them. We will wait for any further responses from the members in this list.
