Hey, We're still hoping to releasing 2012.2.1 on Thursday but we need to lock things down now to allow last minute regression testing. So, please don't approve any more fixes for the branch until after the release. If there's something you think warrants an exception, leave a +2 with a comment explaining you're thinking and I'll make the call as release manager. We've had a huge amount of activity in the last week, so I'm a little nervous that we might have broken something. The current "bugs fixed" tallies are: 79 nova 33 quantum 11 glance 7 keystone 3 cinder 1 horizon 134 total Things to note: * It looks like there might be a regression on stable/folsom with ceph/rbd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1083818 Adam Gandelman and Josh Durgin are chasing it. * There's a very serious known issue with the image cache cleanup code when you're using shared storage: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1078594 The fix is invasive and risky, but there's a known workaround (i.e. disable the image cache manager) which Vish has documented in the release notes. We may just disable the image cache manager by default for the release. * The Quantum linuxbridge plugin fix which allows us to move away from using libvirt's type="ethernet" has been merged, but it isn't really useful without the corresponding change to the Nova VIF driver. https://review.openstack.org/16223 Given the limited number of users affected, maybe we can consider merging the Nova change before the release too. One detail here is that if we merge the Nova VIF change, we would need to warn users to update Quantum before Nova. * Please add stuff to the release notes as it occurs to you: http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/2012.2.1 Cheers, Mark.
