Release Milestones

As agreed during the Jan 8 VPP project meeting, the milestones' time will be at 18:00 UTC on the day of the milestone.


Milestone Date Deliverables
F0 2019-04-03 APIs frozen. Only low-risk changes accepted on main branch.
RC1 2019-04-10 (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 2019-04-17 (RC1 + 7) Second artifacts posted.
Formal Release 2019-04-24 (RC2 + 7) 19.04 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 19.04 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 as well as to the master branch
    • Commit first to the release throttle, then "git cherry-pick" into master
    • 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.
