<br>
Here are some top reminders for the 3.12 release:<br>
<br>
1) When 3.12 is released 3.8 will be EOL'd, hence users are encouraged to prepare for the same as per the calendar posted here.<br>
<br>
2) 3.12 is a long term maintenance (LTM) release, and potentially the last in the 3.x line of Gluster!<br>
<br>
3) From this release onward, the feature freeze date is moved ~45 days in advance, before the release. Hence, for this one release you will have lesser time to get your features into the release.<br>
<br>
Release calendar:<br>
<br>
- Feature freeze, or branching date: July 17th, 2017<br>
- All feature post this date need exceptions granted to make it into the 3.12 release<br>
<br>
- Release date: August 30th, 2017<br>
<br>
Release owners:<br>
<br>
- Shyam<br>
- <TBD> Any volunteers?<br>
<br>
Features and major changes process in a nutshell:<br>
1) Open a github issue<br>
<br>
2) Refer the issue # in the commit messages of all changes against the feature (specs, code, tests, docs, release notes) (refer to the issue as "updates gluster/glusterfs#N" where N is the issue)<br>
<br>
3) We will ease out release-notes updates form this release onward. Still thinking how to get that done, but the intention is that a contributor can update release notes before/on/after completion of the feature and not worry about branching dates etc. IOW, you can control when you are done, than the release dates controlling the same for you.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
