Release plan for 4.1

Release plan for 4.1

[Keir Fraser]

Folks,

It's time to start thinking about the release schedule for Xen 4.1. My
proposal is to freeze the tree for new features at the start of January, and
start spinning release candidates asap after that, when we are comfortable
with the stability of the tree. Release should be around 6 weeks after code
freeze (i.e., we aim for mid-Feb release, or end of Feb at the latest).

This isn't set in stone yet of course. Opinions welcome!

Could start spinning RCs for that now I guess.

Can I suggest we stop accepting "big new features" a bit earlier ?

Also, we should be more careful than we have in the past about
accepting many and big changes into late RCs even if they are
allegedly bugfixes.

So I would say, for example, as a rule not to accept fixes for
non-release-critical bugs after the end of February.

Ian.

Xen is not developed in git, instead xen uses mercurial (hg).
Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre is available from http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg 

More info/links here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenRepositories

http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.0
hg clone -r RELEASE-4.0.1 http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg

4.0.2-rc1 is not yet tagged, so just get the latest head of xen-4.0-testing.hg
