All, We've 5 items remaining on the 4.17.1.0 milestone now: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/25
Considering these and the previously proposed rough timeline, I would like to propose 4.17 branch soft freeze from tomorrow 31 Aug 2022, after which only blocker and critical fixes will be allowed with the RC1 cut during next week depending on the branch stability. Thoughts, objections? Regards, Abhishek
