In order to continue with our agreed release cycle as per discussion in [RFC#67](https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0067-quarterly-releases.md) , I'd like to propose a schedule for our next TVM release: `v0.12.0`. This schedule is tentative and may change as we progress through the process. In case dates change, this thread will be kept updated. The proposed schedule is: - **7 Apr 2023** - a branch `v0.12.0` to be created from `main` - **7 Apr 2023** - a tag `v0.12.dev0` to be created, marking the beginning of the next development cycle - **13 Apr 2023** - cherry-picking soft deadline - during this time any reasonable change can be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch - **18 Apr 2023** - cherry-picking **hard deadline** - during this time only critical changes will be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch as well as the reasoning for adding it - **22 Apr 2023** - Draft release notes published - **25 Apr 2023** - release voting opens - **28 Apr 2023** - release date **Note:** for this specific release, given we'll have the end of the year period, I've extended the cherry-picking hard deadline in ~3 days, so that we some more time to consider patches to be included. **Call for release managers:** in case you want to be involved in upcoming releases, please manifest your interest in this thread and we'll try to organise.
