Look for an email from us shortly. I'm taking it upon myself to reopen the release branch for BUG FIXES ONLY (no new libraries). Please get your changes in as soon as is convenient and prudent. It should be open for at least a week. Then we'll require release manager approval. Please be sure trunk tests are clean before merging anything, as usual.
I added a 'release branch closed' event to the calendar for next Monday, which is a little less than a week, but we normally do these things on Mondays. This is in no way final (I just picked a date), and might be changed later.
To confirm, does this mean that release is open for merging, including new features, until next Monday?
"BUG FIXES ONLY" does not include new features. You can ask for permission to merge a new feature. If it has been stable in trunk for awhile and is otherwise low risk, then we may OK a merge. But we are playing catch up for a release that was supposed to be done at the beginning of the month, so are trying to avoid anything that will result in further delays. --Beman
