Hi All, The planned items for 4.22.1 are now complete, so I would like to announce a code freeze on the 4.22 branch. Most of the open items in the 4.22.1 milestone [1] will be deferred to the next milestone.
>From now onwards, only critical/blocker or stabilization fixes will be accepted. I'll work towards cutting 4.22.1.0 RC1, and start the voting process. Appreciate your support. Thanks.
