Hi everyone, Following the 8-month release cycle, also taking into account of the Xen Summit and summer holiday, below is the proposed release schedule that I come up with for Xen 4.18. Please don't hesitate to provide your feedback. Thanks!
** Proposed option: Wed Aug 2, 2023 ** (+8 months from Xen 4.17 release) - Last posting date Fri May 12, 2023 (+6 weeks from now) Patches adding new features are expected to be posted to the mailing list by this date, although perhaps not in their final version. - Feature freeze Fri Jun 2, 2023 (+3 weeks from Last posting date) Patches adding new features should be committed by this date. Straightforward bugfixes may continue to be accepted by maintainers. - Code freeze Fri Jun 23, 2023 (+3 weeks from Feature freeze) Bugfixes only. (Note that Xen Summit is Jun 24 - 26, 2023) - Hard code freeze Fri Jul 14, 2023 (+3 weeks from Code freeze) Bugfixes for serious bugs (including regressions), and low-risk fixes only. - Final commits Fri Jul 28, 2023 (+2 weeks from Hard code freeze) Branch off staging-4.18. - Release Wed Aug 2, 2023 Kind regards, Henry
