    • dynflow change in progress
    • rails 6 upgrade is close but still requires some work
    • lots of infra changes, might risk delay - will open discussion regarding possible resolutions

Plugins

  • Lots of packaging PRs open for a while.
    • Delivery team is aware of the issue and will try to prioritize it more.
    • There is also an effort to improve automation around packaging ongoing, which should make it easier in the long run to merge to stable branches as well.
  • Foreman-js version 4 was merged to core this week, plugins using webpack need to update to use it. PRs have been opened for all known plugins. Plugins that have been built already with version 3 should continue to function, but building new releases will require bumping the version.

  • 3.15
    • starting to look into preparations for branching, will check nightlies to make sure they’re stable.
