Out of the above, 

220 - will be an on-going effort. Some effort towards that is already started, and merged.

384 - https://review.gluster.org/19098 is the patch with most of the changes. I have now split the patch into two parts. Current one mostly will pass the regression and just introduces all the new functionality. (best way to do the diff is 'diff -pru client-rpc-fops.c client-rpc-fops_v2.c', and similar on server to see if the diff is fine).

The other patch will follow and can be treated as a bug fix on the base patch, and I am fine to send a rebase to release branch after it merges in master later (but before release-4.0 happens).

203 - Is again a larger task, where individual translator owners should make sure they don't have a specific binary type (or a structure) being passed on wire, but have a proper encoding/decoding method for it. Infrastructure to warn people about such 'keys' is already present. That is the end of my task for the github, and would leave completion to corresponding maintainers. (Everyone please look at logs :-)


So, help is needed with 384 for now. Thanks to Poornima who did help with some reviews and feedback on patch, if she finds it fine, and someone else helps with review, the patch may get merged today.

This is today! So read on...

Short update: I am going to wait a couple more days before branching, to
settle release content and exceptions. Branching is hence on Jan, 18th
(Thursday).

Other than the protocol changes (from Amar), I did not receive any
requests for features that are making it to the release. I have compiled
a list of features based on patches in gerrit that are open, to check
what features are viable to make it to 4.0. This can be found here [3].

NOTE: All features, other than the ones in [3] are being moved out of
the 4.0 milestone.

I need the following contributors to respond and state if the feature in
[3] should still be tracked against 4.0 and how much time is possibly
needed to make it happen.

- Poornima, Amar, Jiffin, Du, Susant, Sanoj, Vijay


I request an extension till end of next week to complete my task.

Thanks,
Vijay
