See https://github.com/vpp-dev/vpp-release-notes for information.
Release Milestones
the milestones' start time will be at 12:00 UTC on the day of the milestone.
| Milestone | Date | Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| F0 | 2020-12-09 | No high risk changes on master until RC1 |
| RC1 | 2020-12-16 (F0+7) | Code complete, pull first release throttle branch, only bug fixes accepted on throttle train. After pull: main branch reopens for new feature / risky commits. First artifacts posted. |
| RC2 | 2021-01-13 (RC1+35) | Second artifacts posted. |
| Cooldown and external tests | 2021-01-20 (RC2+7) | Deadline for patches destined for the release |
| Formal Release | 2021-01-27 (RC2+14) | 21.01 release artifacts available |
NOTE: Dates chosen based on:
- end-month release
- milestone + days
- release date after VPP community meeting, for discussion, go/no-go
Once we've pulled the 21.01 release throttle
We need to be disciplined with respect to bugfix commits. Here are a few common-sense suggestions:
- All bug fixes must be double-committed to the release throttle, and 20.09 LTS, and the master branch
- Commit first to the master branch, then "git cherry-pick" into release throttle
- Manual merges may be required, depending on the degree of divergence between throttle and master
- All bug fixes need to have a Jira ticket
- Please put Jira IDs into the commit messages.
- Please use the same Jira ID for commits into the stable branch and master.
