Hello everyone, Heat and Neutron just produced a release candidate for the end of the Mitaka cycle! You can find their RC1 source code tarballs at: https://tarballs.openstack.org/heat/heat-6.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/neutron/neutron-8.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/neutron-lbaas/neutron-lbaas-8.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/neutron-fwaas/neutron-fwaas-8.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/neutron-vpnaas/neutron-vpnaas-8.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, these RC1s will be formally released as the final Mitaka releases on April 7th. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate these tarballs ! Alternatively, you can directly test the stable/mitaka release branches at: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat/log/?h=stable/mitaka http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron/log/?h=stable/mitaka http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron-lbaas/log/?h=stable/mitaka http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron-fwaas/log/?h=stable/mitaka http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron-vpnaas/log/?h=stable/mitaka 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/neutron/+filebug and tag it *mitaka-rc-potential* to bring it to the release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branches of Heat and Neutron are now open for Newton development, and feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there ! Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
