Hi teams, As 2023.1 Antelope was released last week and we are in a less busy period, now is the good time to call your attention to the following: In less than a month Xena is planned to transition to Extended Maintenance phase [1] (planned date: 2023-04-20). I have generated the list of the current *open* and *unreleased* changes in stable/xena for every repositories [2] (where there are such patches). These lists could help the teams who are planning to do a *final* release on Xena before moving stable/xena branches to Extended Maintenance. Feel free to edit and extend these lists to track your team's progress! Note that the *latest* Xena *release* tagging patches ('xena-em' tag) have been generated too in advance [3], please mark with a -1 if your team plans to do a final release, or +1 if the team is ready for the transition. The schedule from now on is as follows: * patches with +1 from PTL / release liaison will be merged, thus those repositories will transition to Extended Maintenance * at the planned deadline (April 20th) the Release Team will merge all of the transition patches (even the ones without any response!) * after the transition, stable/xena will be still open for bug fixes, but there won't be official releases anymore. *NOTE*: teams, please focus on wrapping up your libraries first if there is any concern about the changes, in order to avoid broken (final!!) releases!
