Hi All, As per the previously shared timeline, we were aiming to cut the Release Candidate (RC) this week.
However, given the number of outstanding issues targeted for 4.20.1 and our current resource availability, we'd like to consider a few more issues before proceeding with the RC. The new proposed timeline is the week commencing April 28th, with a code freeze scheduled for the previous week (w.c. April 21st). If you have any PRs or issues that need to be included after April 21st, please reach out to me (@Pearl1594). Thanks, Pearl Dsilva ________________________________ From: Rohit Yadav <rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com> Sent: February 20, 2025 11:00 PM To: d...@cloudstack.apache.org <d...@cloudstack.apache.org>; users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Timeline for the release of 4.20.1 Thanks for sharing the timeline Pearl, LGTM. It would be great if 4.20.1 is released by late March or even early April to give us enough time/bandwidth to focus on 4.21 in late Q2/early Q3.
