Hey all,
It's 2 days past release day, oops, and here is v2019.07-rc2. I think we're largely in good shape, but there's some big things to address still.
Things that we need to address are what to do about the code that has gone past the DM migration. What I've said elsewhere is that I want to disable building of the code for a release, and remove it in a following release. How close are we to being able to do that? Well, Jagan started out a series for SPI that did most of what I wanted but didn't stop building the code. I've taken that and reworked it so we don't build the code in question, but do build the platforms. The only thing right now preventing me from posting it, aside from one last world build (which is in progress) is that it really will make a lot of PowerPC platforms build-but-useless. I don't think there's a good option to pick from here but I am hopeful we'll see at least a few platforms updated and converted after this happens.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2019.07-rc1..v2019.07-rc2 looks pretty good but the content there varies based on what was given to me in the PR. So please, the more details in the request the better!
I'm planning on doing -rc3 on the 27th of May with -rc4 on June 10th and -rc5 on June 24th with the release scheduled on July 8th. Thanks all!
