Hi all,
Updating CloudStack 4.12.0.0 releasing status. Current state: freezing master for 4.12, due 31st January. On 24 January I officially declared the CloudStack master branch on freeze state. The goal is to keep merging PRs and stabilizing the master until 31st January. Then, if all goes as expected, the first release candidate will be generated on 1st February. Updated list of PRs/issues: (I) PRs that are looking almost ready for merging, or are fixing critical bugs. PR #3133 (feature: add libvirt / qemu io bursting) -- the author has open questions PR #3126 (Improve System VM startup and memory usage) -- need reviewers, CI tests failing PR #3091 (Address reviewers from abandoned PR #1597) -- the author has open questions PR #2983 (KVM live storage migration NFS-NFS) -- rebase against latest master PR #3122 (Add back ability to disable backup of snapshot to secondary) -- the author has open questions PR #3154 Copy template to target KVM host if needed when migrating local <> local storage -- needs reviewers, CI tests failing PR #3150 api: add command to list management servers (addressing PR #2578) -- need reviewers (II) PRs and Issues that are interesting, but the contributors are unresponsive. Therefore, due to the tight schedule, they are likely going to be merged into the next LTS. Still, they are worth mentioning and it would be great if we have a few of these PRs stable to merge in 4.12. PR #2311 (optimization for applying port forward rules) -- need reviewers, CI tests failing PR #3036 (extra capabilities for VMs snapshots) -- the author has open questions, rebase against latest master issue #3081 (L2 guest networking via UI) issue #3068 (some UI additions) issue #3041 (Decision making logic of which Secondary storage to be used Secondary storage to be used) issue #3040 (Broadcast URI not set to VXLAN, but VLAN) Issue #3148 UI: Create Network Offering Popup doesn't show fields. -- Merged PRs: PR #3112 (network: Offerings do not have to have Security Grouping enabled) PR #2795 (KVM: Properly report available memory to Management Server) PR #2848 (vmware offline migration) -- PRs closed: PR #2578 (API command to list management servers) -- closed in favor of PR #3150 Total of open PRs targeting 4.12.0.0: 8 Total of issues targeting 4.12.0.0: 5 Merged PRs: 3 Thank you all for the hard work!
