Hi, This email is sent to discuss the possible Release Candidates (RCs) for Xen 4.17 release. We are still 1+ month away from where they start but we can start early to gather opinions from all stakeholders.
I checked the RC schedule when Xen 4.16 was released. The RCs were prepared after the Code Freeze and there were 4 RCs one per week (Nov 1, 2021; Nov 8, 2021; Nov 16, 2021; Nov 23, 2021) before the final release (Dec 2, 2021). For 4.17, the Code Freeze will happen in Fri Sep 23, 2022, which is also the week of Xen Summit, so I think the first RC can fall in the week after, so I prepared below schedule: RC1: Fri Sep 30, 2022. RC2: Fri Oct 7, 2022. RC3: Fri Oct 14, 2022 (The date of Hard Code Freeze). RC4: Fri Oct 21, 2022. RC5 (Final): Fri Oct 28, 2022 (The date of Final Commits). Please kindly share your opinion on this schedule, thanks! Kind regards, Henry
