I’ve created the 7.3 release branch. I’ll leave 24 hours for bug-fixes and doc patches and then create a release candidate.
We’re now in feature-freeze for 7.3, so please bear in mind the following: No new features may be committed to the branch. Documentation patches, build patches and serious bug fixes may be committed to the branch. However, you should submit all patches you want to commit to Jira first to give others the chance to review and possibly vote against the patch. Keep in mind that it is our main intention to keep the branch as stable as possible. All patches that are intended for the branch should first be committed to the unstable branch, merged into the stable branch, and then into the current release branch. Normal unstable and stable branch development may continue as usual. However, if you plan to commit a big change to the unstable branch while the branch feature freeze is in effect, think twice: can't the addition wait a couple more days? Merges of bug fixes into the branch may become more difficult. Only Jira issues with Fix version “7.3" and priority "Blocker" will delay a release candidate build. > On 9 Mar 2018, at 16:43, Alan Woodward <[email protected]> wrote: > > FYI I’m still recovering from my travels, so I’m going to create the release > branch on Monday instead. > >> On 27 Feb 2018, at 18:51, Cassandra Targett <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> I intend to create the Ref Guide RC as soon as the Lucene/Solr artifacts RC >> is ready, so this is a great time to remind folks that if you've got Ref >> Guide changes to be done, you've got a couple weeks.
