Following discussion we seem to have settled on the following schedule for QEMU 2.7:
* 2016-06-28 Soft feature freeze. All features should have patches on the list by this date; major features should have initial code committed. * 2016-07-19 Hard feature freeze. Tag -rc0, only bug fixes committed after this point * 2016-07-26 Tag v2.7.0-rc1 * 2016-08-02 Tag v2.7.0-rc2 * 2016-08-09 Tag v2.7.0-rc3 * 2016-08-16 Tag v2.7.0 (See http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.7) The usual requests apply: * please add changelog for features/changes you're responsible for * please not release-critical bugs/patches on the Planning page so they don't get accidentally omitted from rc builds * please try to get patches and pull requests in in good time for freeze; it is not possible to process one pullreq per subsystem in less than 24 hours so better early than late thanks -- PMM
