Quarkus 3.15.4 LTS release preparation + branch freeze

[Jan Martiška]

Hi,
as we are now starting the preparations for the 3.15.4 LTS release, effective now, both the Quarkus core and Quarkus Platform branches for 3.15 are considered frozen. This is to give a buffer for platform members to do their compatibility testing. The general process is explained here: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/wiki/3.15-LTS-Release-Planning

The current schedule for 3.15.4 LTS is the following:

Date       Action
Feb 10   Backport meetings begin
Mar 4     Upstream branches freeze (Platform can begin compatibility testing)
Mar 11   Upstream core release
Mar 18        Upstream platform release

Let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks
Jan

How 'frozen' is the platform branch at this point?

There's a new Camel 4.8.4 patch release out today and I was considering doing a Camel Quarkus 3.15.3 release.

Could I get that merged in the platform for 3.15.4 or not?

That would be against the process. The freeze date was posted on the release planning page for a long time.
Is that necessary to fix a compatibility problem? If not, we should postpone it to 3.15.5.

It's not addressing any compatibility issues. It's just general fixes & improvements from the Camel 4.8.x LTS stream. There's also an otel fix in CQ.

If we have to wait for 3.15.5, then that's fair enough.
