Oliver,
We're scheduled to have a release candidate of 2.249.1 next Wednesday, August 26. I don't see a stable-2.249 branch on the Jenkins core repository.
Will you be starting that backport branch soon?
Any issues that might risk the release date of Jenkins 2.249.1?
I've started a draft proposal for a Jenkins Online Meetup to describe the new features in 2.249.1. I'd prefer to host that meetup a few days after the release date, so would like to be sure that I am assuming the correct release date (September 9).
Thanks,
Mark Waite
