Hi everyone,

The third (and last) milestone of the Icehouse development cycle, "icehouse-3", is now available for Keystone, Glance, Nova, Horizon, Neutron, Cinder, Ceilometer, Heat, and Trove.

You can see the full list of new features and fixed bugs, as well as tarball downloads, at:

https://launchpad.net/keystone/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/glance/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/nova/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/horizon/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/neutron/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/cinder/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/heat/icehouse/icehouse-3 https://launchpad.net/trove/icehouse/icehouse-3

Including the Oslo libraries, that makes an impressive 203 blueprints completed over the last 6 weeks alone, and 780 bugs fixed.

Note that this milestone is nearly feature-complete. A few exceptions should land next week, but those projects are otherwise feature-frozen in preparation for the first Icehouse release candidates.

We should now all switch to testing and bugfixing mode for the next weeks, and make Icehouse as bug-free as we can. The release-critical bugs will be tracked on the icehouse-rc1 milestone pages. Once all those bugs are fixed and the first release candidates are out, the next development cycle (Juno) will start. Final coordinated release is expected on April 17th !
