Planning/2.11

Release Schedule

Release schedule not set yet, but targeting early to mid December.

NOTE! KVM Forum happens to be the week of 23-27, just before softfreeze, and some maintainers are likely to still be travelling between the end of that and the softfreeze date. If you're one of those people, or planning to try to get code in via their tree, make sure you get patches into trees and pull requests onto the mailing list early!

2017-08-31	Beginning of development phase
2017-10-31	Soft feature freeze. Only bug fixes after this point. All feature changes must be already in a sub maintainer tree and all pull requests from submaintainers must have been sent to the list by this date.
2017-11-07	Hard feature freeze. Tag rc0
2017-11-14	Tag rc1
2017-11-21	Tag rc2
2017-11-28	Tag rc3

2017-12-12	Release, if we need an extra RC cycle

Known issues

Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.

Not yet fixed in any rc

• The ARM machines smdkc210, nuri, raspi2, xlnx-ep108 and xlnx-zcu102 do not work anymore. Using them results in "tcg/tcg.c:538:tcg_register_thread: assertion failed: (n < max_cpus)"
