<span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Hi teams,</span>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">As 2023.1 Antelope was released last week and we are in a less busy</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">period, now is the good time to call your attention to the following:</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">In less than a month Xena is planned to transition to Extended</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Maintenance phase [1] (planned date: 2023-04-20).</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">I have generated the list of the current *open* and *unreleased*</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">changes in stable/xena for every repositories [2] (where there are</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">such patches). These lists could help the teams who are planning to</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">do a *final* release on Xena before moving stable/xena branches to
</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Extended Maintenance. Feel free to edit and extend these lists to</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">track your team's progress!</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Note that the *latest* Xena *release* tagging patches ('xena-em' tag)</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">have been generated too in advance [3], please mark with a -1 if your</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">team plans to do a final release, or +1 if the team is ready for the</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">transition.</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">The schedule from now on is as follows:</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">* patches with +1 from PTL / release liaison will be merged, thus</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;"> those repositories will transition to Extended Maintenance</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">* at the planned deadline (April 20th) the Release Team will merge all
</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;"> of the transition patches (even the ones without any response!)</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">* after the transition, stable/xena will be still open for bug fixes,</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;"> but there won't be official releases anymore.</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">*NOTE*: teams, please focus on wrapping up your libraries first if</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">there is any concern about the changes, in order to avoid broken</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">(final!!) releases!</span></div>
