Hey all,
It's late in the day, but here's v2025.01. Note that this isn't late due to any issues with the master branch but rather because I've been bisect'ing a stubborn issue in -next. Our January release is always tricky due to holidays, but the extra -rc may have helped. We won't really know I suspect however until much later this month when even more testing happens post release. I want to thank everyone that's contributed to this release, not just in terms of code, but documentation, testing and otherwise ensuring things go as smoothly as they can.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2024.01-rc6..v2025.01 contains what I've pulled since the last RC or: git log --merges v2024.10..v2025.01 for changes since the last full release. As always, more details in pull requests (or the tags referenced by them) will result in more details here.
The merge window is formally open again. However, I'm going to hold off on merging -next as I'm bisect'ing an issue there still and want to sort that out before merging. I'll post about that on it's own soon. The v2025.04 release is scheduled for Monday, April 7th, 2025 and the merge window will close and -rc1 will be released on the 27th of January, and then the next window will open with -rc2, two weeks later.
Thanks all!
