Hi Ciyong, I took a look at the 1.7 branch and noticed some PRs were missing for MXNet Extensions including fixes and enhancements for custom ops (sparse, RNG, subgraph) and custom subgraph properties. I created a PR to backport these PRs: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/18063 and updated the wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/1.7.0+Release+Plan+and+Status. All PRs have already been merged on master branch, and I expect the backport PR to succeed sometime today.
Thanks for organizing this release! Sam On Apr 10, 2020, at 7:54 PM, Chen, Ciyong <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I saw there're some more PRs would like to be included in v1.7.0 release and doing backport to v1.x branch recently. So I propose to postpone the code rebase for a week (April 17th), assume most of the backport PR will be available on v1.x branch at that time. Feel free to add any other comments.

Or please let me know if you need a time extension.

Thanks to Patric (pengzhao-intel@github) who had created the GitHub issue[1] to discuss and collect the major features for 1.7.0. Please add any features/enhancements/bugfixes that you want included there. I (ciyongch@github) would like to be the release manager for the upcoming 1.7.0 release. It's my first time to drive a release for MXNet, really thanks to Tao(TaoLv@github) who will guide me to go through the process and already helped to create the Release plan and status page[2] on cwiki. I will keep updating the issues and PRs mentioned in issues[1] to the cwiki page[2] to track the release process. We're proposing to do the release in May, and rebase the code of v1.7.x to latest v1.x on April 10th PST, the code freeze date will be April 20th PST. Please let me know whether this timeline is suitable to you or not, or want an extension. So your timely response will be highly appreciated! Feel free to add any other comments/suggestions.
