Hello everyone, The release candidate(s) for Sahara for the end of the Newton cycle are available! You can find the RC1 source code tarballs at: https://tarballs.openstack.org/sahara/sahara-5.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/sahara-dashboard/sahara-dashboard-5.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/sahara-extra/sahara-extra-5.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/sahara-image-elements/sahara-image-elements-5.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, this RC1 will be formally released as the final Newton release on 6 October. You are therefore strongly encouraged to test and validate these tarballs! Alternatively, you can directly test the stable/newton release branches at: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/sahara/log/?h=stable/newton http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/sahara-dashboard/log/?h=stable/newton http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/sahara-extra/log/?h=stable/newton http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/sahara-image-elements/log/?h=stable/newton If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sahara/+filebug and tag it *newton-rc-potential* to bring it to the Sahara release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branch of Sahara is now open for Ocata development, and feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there!
