Hi Ray,

Thanks for volunteering to do some RM.  I can also help with the process.

How about we set a new proposed date for the next milestone, and work
towards that?  Encouraging people to report test results and getting the
list of JIRA must fixes sorted would be the first step.

Regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,
For https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6419, I have applied it
and run the test, seems it works well and no regression.
I think it should be committed.
Any comments?

Unless somebody shouts, I don't think we need to adopt a length feature
freeze.  I don't see any major work in flight at the moment.  So how
about code freeze sooner (say Dec 10th) and publish the net milestone a
week later (Dec 17th)?

Sure.  If others want to review it too that is fine ;-)

Sure,  I propose the following dates:

 Feature Freeze  Wed 15th December
 Code Freeze     Wed 22nd December
 Publish         Wed 29th December

Please help to run the tests.

Tim,
I found Kevin has attached a patch for
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6419,  would you please help
to review it?

Let's make new milstones for the coming New Year!  :)
