Animesh Chaturvedi the release manager for 4.2 and is tracking the current status of the release. Testing, bug fix work, and documentation should be targeted to complete by code freeze on 7/28. Release is still on schedule to release by 8/19.

We are now just 3 weeks from ACS 4.2 code freeze on 7/29. We have around 400 open defects with 100+ blockers and critical and I expect another 200 new defects to come in. As a community we have been fixing roughly 100 defects per week, in order to clear up our backlog I request you to help out on aggressively fixing the issues. The unassigned issue list is available at http://s.apache.org/BlH/^{Image Added}. When you fix a bug in 4.2 please make sure it is also fixed in master.

Given the debate on system template changes in last few days of 4.1 requiring big testing effort and potential regression, I would like to see that as community we lock down system templates for 4.2 pretty soon. If any changes are needed we should call it out now and get them resolved.

As for bugs here is a summary for this week:

Swift Support in 4.2

On July 3rd, Edison Su reported that support for Swift is broken due to the object store refactor. There's been a fair amount of discussion on how an extant feature could be broken without being exposed via testing, and what should be done about it at this stage.
