Development Focus ----------------- We are coming up on end of year holiday's, so the next few weeks will probably go by fast. Teams should be focused on development plans, but please be aware if there are any project specific milestone 2 deadlines you need to be aware of. General Information ------------------- Just a reminder about the changes this cycle with library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-milestones release model. As announced, we will be automatically proposing releases for these libraries at milestone 2 if there have been any functional changes since the last release to help ensure those changes are picked up by consumers with plenty of time to identify and correct issues. More detail can be found in the original mailing list post describing the changes: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-October/135689.html There are also a set of deliverables following the cycle-with-intermediary model that are not considered libraries. These are services and other somewhat different deliverables. We want to make sure the cycle-with-intermediary release model is not being used as a way to just perform one final release. The intent of this release model is to have multiple releases throughout a development cycle. If you own one of these deliverables, please think about performing a release if one has not already been done for Stein, or decide if the updated cycle-with-rc release model is more appropriate for your needs.
