Update from the Release manager (21.11)
Updates from the Release Maintainers
Updates from the QA team
Status of roadmap projects
- Bug 19532 (Recalls) was on the roadmap; it is a feature that many libraries probably want; Aleisha rebased it around thousand times. It is too large to push it to 21.11 short before release. Some questioned the fundamentals too. It would only be fair if QA formulates an opinion on it as a team, and when agreed upon, new RM and QA coordinate pushing it early. As a side note, I really dislike patch sets of this size; we should avoid them wherever possible. [Marcel 21-10]
