Hello everyone, Cinder is the next project team to produce a release candidate for the end of the Mitaka cycle! You can find the RC1 source code tarball at: https://tarballs.openstack.org/cinder/cinder-8.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, this RC1 will be formally released as the final Mitaka Cinder release on April 7th. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate this tarball ! Alternatively, you can directly test the stable/mitaka release branch at: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/cinder/log/?h=stable/mitaka If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+filebug and tag it *mitaka-rc-potential* to bring it to the Cinder release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branch of Cinder is now open for Newton development, and feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there ! Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
