Hello everyone, The release candidate for Zaqar (and zaqar-ui) for the end of the Newton cycle is available! You can find the RC1 source code tarballs at: https://tarballs.openstack.org/zaqar/zaqar-3.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz https://tarballs.openstack.org/zaqar-ui/zaqar-ui-1.0.0.0rc1.tar.gz Unless release-critical issues are found that warrant a release candidate respin, these RC1s will be formally released as the final 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/zaqar/log/?h=stable/newton http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/zaqar-ui/log/?h=stable/newton If you find an issue that could be considered release-critical, please file it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zaqar/+filebug and tag it *newton-rc-potential* to bring it to the zaqar release crew's attention. Note that the "master" branches of zaqar and zaqar-ui are now open for Ocata development, and feature freeze restrictions no longer apply there! Thanks, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
