Development Focus

-----------------

The Zed-2 milestone will happen in next month, on July 14th, 2022.

Zed-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can move

to implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on

the second milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to

General Information

-------------------

Please remember that libraries need to be released at least once per

milestone period. At milestone 2, the release team will propose releases

for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone 1.

Other non-library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-intermediary

release model should have an intermediary release before milestone-2.

Those who haven't will be proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model,

which is more suited to deliverables that are released only once per cycle.

At milestone-2 we also freeze the contents of the final release. If you

have a new deliverable that should be included in the final release, you

should make sure it has a deliverable file in:

You should request a beta release (or intermediary release) for those new

deliverables by milestone-2. We understand some may not be quite ready

for a full release yet, but if you have something minimally viable to

get released it would be good to do a 0.x release to exercise the release

tooling for your deliverables. See the MembershipFreeze description for

Finally, now may be a good time for teams to check on any stable

releases that need to be done for your deliverables. If you have

bugfixes that have been backported, but no stable release getting

those. If you are unsure what is out there committed but not released,

in the openstack/releases repo, running the command

"tools/list_stable_unreleased_changes.sh <cycle_name>" gives a nice report.
