Welcome back to the release countdown emails! These will be sent at major points in the Wallaby development cycle, which should conclude with a final release on Wednesday, 14 April, 2021.

Development Focus --------------------------

At this stage in the release cycle, focus should be on planning the Wallaby development cycle, assessing Wallaby community goals and approving Wallaby specs.

General Information --------------------------

Wallaby is a 26 weeks development cycle. In case you haven't seen it yet, please take a look over the schedule for this release:

By default, the team PTL is responsible for handling the release cycle and approving release requests. This task can (and probably should) be delegated to release liaisons. Now is a good time to review release liaison information for your team and make sure it is up to date:

By default, all your team deliverables from the Victoria release are continued in Wallaby with a similar release model. If you intend to drop a deliverable, or modify its release model, please do so before the Wallaby-1 milestone by proposing a change to the deliverable file at:
