We are starting the science pipelines release process for 23.0.0. The process will be tracked on ticket DM-29437 and this post. Please check back for updates.
The tentative weekly for the starting point for the release is w_2021_40.
The tentative target date to close is 2021-12-15.
Release Precursor Steps
- Identify any pre-release blockers (“must-have features”)
Contributors, please check if there are outstanding issues that must be included in the next release and relate them as blockers to the issue DM-25629. - Wait until all blocking issues are resolved.
- Create Jira issues for each release activity
4. Check that the weekly build is scientifically suitable to be used as the starting point for the release
Release Engineering Steps
- Create first release candidate v23.0.0.rc1
- Release candidate v23.0.0.rc1 available
- Build the release candidate on supported platforms. Report bugs in Jira if any.
- Invite developers, contributors, and downstream users to verify the release candidate and report bugs in Jira if any.
- Wait for bugs and additional issues to be identified, fixed, and ported to the release branch.
6. Create new release candidates if bugs / new issues have been fixed in the release branch
This step took longer than previous releases because it is tied to DP0.2. v23.0.0.rc5 will become 23.0.0 - Create official release 23.0.0
