Hello everyone, Designate's release candidate for the end of the Mitaka cycle is available! You can find the RC1 source code tarball at: https://tarballs.openstack.org/designate/designate-2.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, this RC1 will be formally released as the final Mitaka Designate release on April 7th. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate this tarball! Alternatively, you can directly test the stable/mitaka release branch at: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/designate/log/?h=stable/mitaka If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/designate/+filebug and tag it *mitaka-rc-potential* to bring it to the Designate release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branch of Designate is now open for Newton development, and feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there! Doug
