Hi everyone, This is a friendly reminder from the release manager team that Python 3.10 feature freeze is two weeks away (Monday, 3 May 2021).
Please, be aware of the following: * No new features or improvements should be merged after feature freeze. >From the devguide (https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#beta) : > After a first beta release is published, no new features are accepted. Only bug fixes can now be committed. This is when core developers should > concentrate on the task of fixing regressions and other new issues filed by users who have downloaded the alpha and beta release * If your change involves some platform-specific behaviour or has a non-trivial amount of C code, *make sure you run the buildbotsin your Pull Request* by using the "test-with-buildbots" label ( https://discuss.python.org/t/now-you-can-test-a-pr-with-the-buildbots-before-merging/2966 ). Alternatively you could check the buildbots post-merge in the buildbot server: https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders?tags=%2B3.x&tags=%2Bstable This is *very important* because if problems are detected at the time of the release, *the release management team may have to revertthe changes* and therefore those will not be included in Python 3.10. * The master branch will be renamed to main (check our previous communication about how this will be done and how you should proceed: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/QWW7KGBW5UH2N5FOZOFXQBQPYELWQM3O/ ) If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me as soon as possible. Regards from sunny London, Pablo Galindo Salgado
