This is our final week before the release is done. Focus -----
Project teams following the cycle-with-milestone model should be testing their release candidates and fixing release-critical bugs. We have had some second and third release candidates, so we hope things settle and those can become final releases. Project teams following the cycle-with-intermediary model should ensure they have at least one Mitaka release, and determine whether they will need another release before the end of the Mitaka cycle. All project teams should be working on release-critical bugs. General Notes ------------- The global requirements list is still frozen, but we expect it to open soon (we'll send another announcement of that). If you need to change a dependency, for example to include a bug fix in one of our libraries or an upstream library, please provide enough detail in the change request to allow the requirements review team to evaluate the change. The master branches for all projects following cycle-with-milestone are open for Newton development work. Review teams are still likely to be working on bug fixes for Mitaka, so be patient if you start posting feature work. Release Actions --------------- There are still a few cycle-with-intermediary projects without a clear indication if they have cut their final release: bifrost magnum python-searchlightclient senlin-dashboard solum-infra-guestagent os-win cloudkitty tacker Please contact the release team, or submit a release request to the releases repository, to address these missing releases as soon as possible. Do NOT wait for the end of the week (submit a request by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest). We will not be doing any more intermediary releases after Thursday unless the release is a critical bug fix to an existing release, so it is better to go ahead and release something to give consumers a chance to test. After Mar 31 feature releases will be counted as part of the Newton cycle. The release team will have reduced availability between R-1 and the summit due to travel. Please use the mailing list to contact us and to ensure one of us sees your question include "[release]" in the subject line. Important Dates --------------- Final release candidates: Mar 31 Mitaka final release: Apr 7 Mitaka release schedule: http://releases.openstack.org/mitaka/schedule.html __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
