[release][1.47] Release branch open + schedule
Hello everyone, It's been over a week since the release, so it's time to open the release branch. Since we're running late, and we haven't discussed the changes to the schedule, and I think it helps people to pace their development, we should probably decide on a schedule for this release pretty quickly, and then discuss the schedule for future releases later. We discussed having longer betas, 4 weeks was suggested. If we do that this time, it'll leave a very small window for merging to release, so I think 3 weeks might be better. Something like: 4th April: Release branch closed for beta (bug fixes only). 11th April: Beta target date. 2nd May: Release target date. Note: That's just a proposal, not the actual schedule. It isn't up to me. That's still a tight schedule, maybe a shorter beta or a delayed release would be better. Any thoughts? Daniel
Hi, We are aware that the current proposed schedule is 4th April: Release branch closed for beta (bug fixes only). 11th April: Beta target date. 2nd May: Release target date. (As proposed by Daniel James on the Boost-dev list) It's a very tight schedule, and one that we cannot meet if we are to introduce Phoenix. It is not that Phoenix is not ready for release. Actually, it is doing admirably in tests. However, the main client of Phoenix is Spirit. While there is already a patch to port Spirit to Phoenix-3, we need some more time to iron-out the wrinkles and let it settle for a while to assure stability. At a minimum, we will need 2 more weeks to achieve a smooth transition. If we can move the closing of the release branch for beta to the 15th of April, it will give us sufficient time to have Phoenix ready for release. Without an extension we will not be able to release Phoenix V3 this time. Please understand that this is not a hard request. If a delay is not possible, then we would gladly wait for the next release cycle. Thank you very much. Hartmut kaiser Joel de Guzman Thomas Heller

That was more of a straw man proposal than anything.

Who will decide about this? Are these the fixed days we go for? Who will answer the Spirit team or has that been done off-list? Thanks, Barend

It's normally decided by Beman, but he's been busy with the standards meeting. Beman had mentioned having a discussion during this release cycle, so I tried to start one (and also make sure people realise that we don't have much time before the scheduled release). If I'd had more of a response, I'd have a good idea of what people want and would feel confident about setting a schedule. But since I haven't, I'll leave it for when Beman returns. You might have very little warning, but there you go. Daniel

You might have very little warning, but there you go. OK, I see. Thanks for your answer.

Any updates regarding the release schedule?

Nope, just waiting. I'd get started if I thought there was the demand, but there doesn't seem be right now. I get the impression that people would prefer a late release with the new libraries included rather than a timely release without. Although I'm basing that on quite limited information.
