Hello everyone, Heat and Zaqar just produced their first release candidate for the end of the Liberty cycle. The RC1 tarballs, as well as a list of last-minute features and fixed bugs since liberty-1 are available at: https://launchpad.net/heat/liberty/liberty-rc1 https://launchpad.net/zaqar/liberty/liberty-rc1 Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, these RC1s will be formally released as final versions on October 15. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate these tarballs ! Alternatively, you can directly test the stable/liberty release branch at: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat/log/?h=stable/liberty http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/zaqar/log/?h=stable/liberty If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/heat/+filebug or https://bugs.launchpad.net/zaqar/+filebug and tag it *liberty-rc-potential* to bring it to the release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branches of Heat and Zaqar are now officially open for Mitaka development, so feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there. Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
