Dear all, I am writing to inform the community that we are planning to create the staging branch for v23.0 on May 24th. This branch will be created from the develop branch and intensively tested prior to merging into the stable branch, thereby completing the release of v23.0. The staging branch will exist for no less than two weeks with the current goal to officially releasing on June 7th. More information about this process can be found in our release procedures documentation: https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/development/release_procedures/ Any patches intended for v23.0 should be submitted over the next two weeks. We'll work hard to ensure those who have pushed patched to Gerrit are reviewed as soon as possible. If you feel your patch has been neglected please reach out. Please note that anything which doesn't make it into develop prior to creation of the staging branch can still make it to the gem5 v23.1 release later in the year. As always, bug fixes/stability improvements and minor, inoffensive changes will be permitted for submission to the staging branch for the time it exists prior to the release. Kind regards, Bobby -- Dr. Bobby R. Bruce Room 3050, Kemper Hall, UC Davis Davis, CA, 95616 web: https://www.bobbybruce.net

Dear all, As of this afternoon, the gem5 v23.0 staging branch has been created. This branch will be intensely tested over the next couple of weeks to ensure it's ready to be merged into the stable branch. The release of gem5 v23.0 (the point at which the staging branch is merged into the stable branch) is now scheduled for June 9th. If you have any bug fixes you can submit them to the develop branch then cherry-pick the changes onto the staging branch to ensure they make it into the v23.0 release. More information on our release procedures can be found here: https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/development/release_procedures/ Kind regards, Bobby -- Dr. Bobby R.

Dear all, As you have probably noticed, we’re already over our original June 9th scheduled release of v23.0. The staging branch periods has been productive and allowed us to test and fix many parts of the project. We still require a little more time with this so are now aiming to have the release complete by the end of the month. As always, you may push bug fixes and other minor improvements to the staging branch during this time. Kind regards, Bobby -- Dr. Bobby R.
