October release timeline
All,
I am currently leaning towards starting the usual release preparation
(i18n, updates, PRs, BZ etc) tomorrow with the aim of tagging early
(Monday) next week.
Thoughts?
Mark

Safe travels.
We do seem to make a habit of being in the middle of a set of releases
whenever there is a conference. Difficult to avoid with monthly releases.
The good news is that my local tests all passed (for all branches) so
I'll be tagging shortly.

I begin my travel to Glasgow in a few hours, taking a multi-day layover
in Reykjavik. I'll keep an eye on the mailing list to see when you are
ready for a release vote and I'll try to (a) roll the 10.1.61 release
and (b) test others candidates.

Quick status update.
Just the test suites to go. I am seeing a failure on MacOS that I need
to investigate. I'm hope to be able to tag later today.

Fair enough. The process is working for me but I'd seriously struggle if
you committed any faster.

Ack. BZ done and I'm on the last batch of your review commits (for now).
Thanks for picking up that last BZ issue.

I'm not a big fan of last minute patches unless it's very important,
so I'll pass. I'll make sure I complete all the fixes from code review
for the next release, since the process is good enough (for me at
least).

OK. If things go very well, there might be time for a few more batches
before Monday. I'll keep the thread updated.

There is already a plan for a Native release later this month. Given
that releasing the migration tool is relatively quick, I might do that
today anyway. If it is ready in time for the tag great. If not, it is
one less thing to do later.
Still to do before I tag:
- review your changes for o.a.c.filters onwards
- i18n updates
- open BZ issues
- review PRs
- a handful of $dayjob issues
- run the test suites
Hmm. Looking at it now it is all written down, that is quite a bit.
Maybe I'm being optimistic to think we'll be able to complete a few more
batches from the code review.

I know the conference schedule is in the way. I would have preferred
to put all the changes from code review (we get more and more PRs and
reports that are actually in it), but ok, there's about 400 so not
enough time. I'll have one last batch for the catalina.ha packages,
then that's it for now.
Let's release the migration tool some other time, there's no urgent
fix so no need to try to squeeze it in just before a release.

Just running through the version updates. Do we want to release an
updated migration tool? If we start that ASAP it should be ready in time
for the tag early next week.
