Thanks, Przemek.

We're catching up for MKL-DNN upgrade parts but currently the unstable CI is 
slowdown our development progress a lot.
Hope we can merge all PRs in next week if CI is back to work soon.

I will update to you for our progress.

Thanks,

Re: MXNet 1.6.0 release

2019-10-25 Thread Przemysław Trędak
Dear MXNet Community

Last night I updated 1.6.x branch to point to current master. The code freeze 
is now in effect.

That said, since most of the features intended for 1.6 release are still not 
fully finished (a few PRs for BERT GPU performance, multiple MKLDNN PRs, 
multiple PRs tagged NumPy etc.) we decided to go with a "soft" code freeze 
approach. Only the PRs that are in the scope of 1.6 release will now be 
accepted into 1.6.x branch. The hard code freeze is planned next week, Oct 31st.

While contributors of those in-scope PRs and their reviewers work to meet that 
deadline, I would like to call for action for the rest of the MXNet Community 
to test, raise issues and fix the bugs in the release.

Thank you
Przemek
