Hi, We are still targeting next Monday 25th of July to start creating the first release candidate for 9.0.0.
We are down to 37 Open/In progress issues and 6 blockers from 144 issues and 7 blockers from a couple of weeks ago. Thanks everyone for the great effort there! This is the link to the confluence page that was made to track the progress for the 9.0.0 release [1]. As usual when approaching a release we have started seeing an increased number of failed nightly builds, it would be great if you could take a look for possible issues introduced by your changes [2] [3]. We have started tagging the tasks related to the nightlies with a Nightly label so it's easier to query them [4]. There have been 447 Resolved/Closed JIRA tickets so far! Lots of good things on the new release!
