Hi everyone, The Nova deadlines for 2026.2 Hibiscus have been merged [1]. A quick heads-up on one clarification: The Spec Soft Freeze and Spec Freeze deadlines now explicitly cover specless blueprints as well. This has always been the case in practice, but was never stated in the schedule, which caused some confusion during Gazpacho. This was discussed and agreed upon at the PTG. Key dates: - Spec Review Days: May 21 & June 4 - Spec Soft Freeze: May 28, 2026 — no new specs or specless blueprints accepted - Spec Freeze: June 11, 2026 — all specs and specless blueprints must be approved If you're planning any feature for Hibiscus, spec or specless, please plan accordingly.
