Hi all,
Next week is the milestone week for 4.15 RC2.
RC2
Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding defects that we intend to fix for 2020-03 (4.15). At the end of RC2 build, there should not be any open defects tagged 4.15. All fixes submitted must have a project lead or PMC vote on the bug report, and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than the one who made the fix). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report. Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.
Monday: Last day of development (and even then, no "big changes"). After Monday 18:00 ET, no feature work or unrelated fixes are allowed -- only regression fixes.
Tuesday: Testing is welcome.
Wednesday: Fix day with a focus on fixing regressions. No unrelated fixes. Review and thoroughly test all commits.
- The last Wednesday build is the release candidate every team signs off on Thursday.
Thursday: 1-day test pass. Sign-off after re-testing, or at least confirming no changes have been made to your component's code since the last time the component was tested well.
Friday: Build is officially declared and made available.
- The master branch stays closed until the milestone is officially released. (That is, it is not enough that your component has signed off.)
Thanks & Regards,
Noopur
