Track breaking changes that need to land in 13.0
NOTE - 13.0 IS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 22 AT THIS TIME (NO CHANGES)
Presently GitLab is planning to release our next major release on May 22nd: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/maintenance.html#versioning
Given the evolving situation due to COVID-19, employees are experiencing interruptions to their normal work day and environment. This includes school closures, restrictions on travel, oversaturated internet connections, and more.
These interruptions could have an impact on our delivery of key changes that are required to land in a major release. If some of these are delayed past May, the current major release timeframe, we may want to consider pushing to June so that we do not have to wait another year. Having this list will help us make that decision.
Changes which require a major release
-
Must Have:
Yesif the change is required for %13.0 due to the impact of waiting another year -
On Track:
✅ if progress is going well,⚠ if at risk,❌ if it will not make it without a delay.
It would be great if we could update the items in the list by Monday of next week so we can get a sense of where we stand.
We should track the changes which require a major version change, to allow us to better understand whether we should delay %13.0.
