For upcoming patch releases any "must-fix" will be tagged with the "HH-must-fix" label in Jira.
If there is a defect you think should be considered a must fix for an upcoming patch release either
a) Create change on the release branch in gerrit. This can either be a release specific
fix or a fix that was also merged onto master.
b) Indicate a change is required for halibut in Jira. Please create a JIRA issue to cherry pick
the fix onto the halibut branch and assign it to Jan-Simon Moeller for consideration.
The master branch is now open for Itchy Icefish.
Best regards,
Jan-Simon Möller
