Greetings. Unfortunately the previous plan dated 5 Feb 2020 didn't work out, partly due to lack of time and partly because various architectures (MIPS, s390 and POWER) were still broken by the "grail" (&&-recovery) changes that landed at the start of the year. The situation has now improved. All architectures now work again -- a big thank-you to the port maintainers for fixing them. However, available time remains scarce, and the need to freeze and ship has increased. As the trunk seems in a fairly good state right now, the revised plan is as follows: at the end of day, UTC+2, Weds 29 April, a 3.16 branch will be made from the trunk. Then there will be a two week stabilisation period, so that the release will be made on 14 May. Once the branch has been made, we can cherry pick low-risk and/or important fixes that land on the trunk after the branching, providing there is a reasonable case for them. J |
