This is the release plan for bug fix version 3.5.1. The primary reason for a relatively early patch release for 3.5.x series is to provide a fix for CVE 2023-34455

Release Manager: Divij Vaidya 

Major and minor version releases are driven by the Time Based Release Plan. As a bug fix version, this release will be performed on-demand as sufficient bug fixes aggregate. This page mostly serves to help understand approximate expected release dates, coordinate testing, and track completed and outstanding JIRAs targeted for the release.

Release Date

July 2023

This date is approximate at best and subject to change. Bug fix releases are driven both by the impact of bug fixes that have already been committed and known outstanding issues. Please email the dev list if you think the timeline needs to be adjusted.

Current tentative timelines for the release is as follows (all times in UTC):

  • 3rd July: Publish release plan and share with the community.
  • 3rd - 9th July: Wait for community to backport fixes.
  • 10th 11th 12th July: Prepare the first release candidate and call for vote.
  • TBD based on vote: Release complete. (Current estimated release date - 18th July).

How to Contribute

  • Open blocker JIRAs on critical issues found. Open non-blocker JIRAs on any other issues found.
  • Participate in fixing, reviewing, and testing important bug fixes. For bug fix releases, testing is among the most valuable contributions, especially for bugs not easily reproduced in unit, integration, or system tests.
  • Vote in RC VOTE threads for the release.

Open Blocker Issues

These are open issues that either:

  • Were marked as blocker because the impact is uncertain and warrants further investigation while blocking release of existing fixes
  • Have been evaluated as important enough that despite existing fixes, the bug fix release should be held until this fix is made due to its criticality.

You can help move us to release faster by contributing fixes or testing of fixes for these issues.
