Hi,
With release 3.10 shipped [1], it is time to set the dates for release
3.11 (and subsequently 4.0).
This mail has the following sections, so please read or revisit as needed,
- Release 3.11 dates (the schedule)
- 3.11 focus areas
Pinging the list on the above 2 items.
*Release 3.11 dates:*
Based on our release schedule [2], 3.11 would be 3 months from the 3.10
release and would be a Short Term Maintenance (STM) release.
This puts 3.11 schedule as (working from the release date backwards):
- Release: May 30th, 2017
- Branching: April 27th, 2017
Branching is about 2 weeks away, other than the initial set of overflow features from 3.10 nothing else has been raised on the lists and in github as requests for 3.11.
So, a reminder to folks who are working on features, to raise the relevant github issue for the same, and post it to devel list for consideration in 3.11 (also this helps tracking and ensuring we are waiting for the right things at the time of branching).
*3.11 focus areas:*
As maintainers of gluster, we want to harden testing around the various
gluster features in this release. Towards this the focus area for this
release are,
1) Testing improvements in Gluster
- Primary focus would be to get automated test cases to determine
release health, rather than repeating a manual exercise every 3 months
- Further, we would also attempt to focus on maturing Glusto[7] for
this, and other needs (as much as possible)
2) Merge all (or as much as possible) Facebook patches into master, and
hence into release 3.11
- Facebook has (as announced earlier [3]) started posting their
patches mainline, and this needs some attention to make it into master
Further to the above, we are also considering the following features for this release, request feature owners to let us know if these are actively being worked on and if these will make the branching dates. (calling out folks that I think are the current feature owners for the same)
1) Halo - Initial Cut (@pranith)
Sorry for the delay in response. Due to some other work engagements, I couldn't spend time on this, I think I can get this done if there is one week grace period, by 5thMay. Or I can get this done for 3.12.0. Do let me know what you think.
2) IPv6 support (@kaushal)
3) Negative lookup (@poornima)
4) Parallel Readdirp - More changes to default settings. (@poornima, @du)
