Hi, It is time again. If you have any questions regarding the release, please ping this thread.
TUESDAY 2021-10-05: API adoption freeze starts. V8 will branch on Thursday for the upcoming Beta phase for Chrome 96. On the 2021-10-06 one of the latest Canaries will be selected to be the branch backup candidate in case of any issues on the branch day. In order to make this synchronization as painless as possible for V8 and Blink please don't make API changes which make the revert more difficult and don't adopt API changes. When in doubt, ask hablich@ or vahl@. WEDNESDAY 2021-10-06: Select backup candidate for branching Decide if the latest Canary can be taken as a backup candidate for branching. If this is not the case the Canary needs to be stabilized ASAP. THURSDAY 2021-10-07: Create 9.6 branch based on one of the latest V8 versions. The auto-roller is closed (maybe over the weekend). Keep in mind that this means we are not integrating with Chromium (much less test coverage). If you happen to work on an important fix, please make sure that the fix is on 9.6 too! See information on merging & patching for the details. Latest MONDAY 2021-10-11: Back to normal and API adoption freeze is lifted Auto-roller is running again and we are back to normal business.
