status of 2.2 release blockers

[Tim Graham]

Time to kick off the progress tracker for the next major release!

The 2.2 feature freeze is scheduled (according to https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version2.2Roadmap) for tomorrow, January 14. Typically we've released the alpha a few days later to finish up a few last minutes things.

I have a few patches I want to finish reviewing:

https://github.com/django/django/pull/10840 - Refs #28478 -- Adjusted prevention of connections to disallowed databases. (regression fixes)
https://github.com/django/django/pull/10381 - Fixed #11154, #17904 and #22270 --  Inconsistency with permissions for proxy models
https://github.com/django/django/pull/10171 - Fixed #20147 -- Added HttpRequest.headers.
https://github.com/django/django/pull/8981 - Fixed #9475 -- allow add(), create(), etc for m2m with through

I guess Claude will also like to update translations catalogs as he did for 2.1.

Hi Vaclav, 

I think current status is "Still work to do" there, so not really...

These features are in. We're planning to do the alpha release tomorrow.

Hi All, 

Django 2.2rc1 is scheduled for today. There's a single release blocker that just needs a little work: 

https://github.com/django/django/pull/10978

As such, I'm looking towards Monday at this point. 

Final release on April 1 should be unaffected. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton
