boost1.71 is ongoing at the moment but progressing well. After that, I will perform icu upgrade to 65. April is too late, and so is March. In the future, please release in January to be included in the Ubuntu LTS release. Depending on how well transition to 65 goes; and how early you can release 66; it may or may not make it into 20.04 LTS. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
