| [jdt-dev] 4.21 (2021-09) M3 milestone reminders |
Team,
Next week is the milestone week for 4.21 M3.
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
- All-day test pass. Nobody should develop or fix anything. Literally spend the entire day testing.
Wednesday
- Fix day with a focus on fixing regressions found during the test day (Tuesday). No unrelated fixes. Review and thoroughly test all commits.
- The last Wednesday build is the release candidate every team signs off on Thursday.
- The "New and Noteworthy" entries are due on Wednesday evening.
- Git repo: ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git
- Gerrit: ssh://git.eclipse.org:29418/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git
- Live website: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.21/
Thursday
- 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.)
Thank you!
