[Qemu-devel] NOTE: QEMU 2.7 softfreeze 28th June, hardfreeze 19 July

[Peter Maydell]

Following discussion we seem to have settled on the
following schedule for QEMU 2.7:

 * 2016-06-28 Soft feature freeze. All features should
   have patches on the list by this date; major features
   should have initial code committed.
 * 2016-07-19 Hard feature freeze. Tag -rc0, only bug
   fixes committed after this point
 * 2016-07-26 Tag v2.7.0-rc1
 * 2016-08-02 Tag v2.7.0-rc2
 * 2016-08-09 Tag v2.7.0-rc3
 * 2016-08-16 Tag v2.7.0

(See http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.7)

The usual requests apply:
 * please add changelog for features/changes you're
   responsible for
 * please not release-critical bugs/patches on the Planning page
   so they don't get accidentally omitted from rc builds
 * please try to get patches and pull requests in in good
   time for freeze; it is not possible to process one pullreq
   per subsystem in less than 24 hours so better early than late

thanks
