[NOTICE] October patch releases moved to 2021-10-27
Adolfo García Veytia
Dear Kubernetes community,
The regular cadence for the monthly Kubernetes releases called
for this month's patches to be cut on Oct 20 '21. Releasing on
that date meant that the cherry-pick deadline fell right during
KubeCon week.
For this reason, during today's SIG Release Meeting we determined
to move this month's patches one week later to allow contributors
extra time after the conference to have all patches merged without
rush. The new dates should appear on the releases
page soon:
New cherry-pick deadline: 2021-10-22
New patch release date: 2021-10-27
Last call for 1.19!
As a reminder, in addition to the branches still in support (1.20,
1.21 and 1.22) the last 1.19 maintenance release will be cut. If
you have a critical patch, please propose it to be cherry-picked
before the deadline. Note that branches in maintenance
mode only get CPs that meet the following criteria:
- CVEs (under the advisement of the Security Response Committee)
- Dependency issues (including base image updates)
- Critical core component issues
If you have any questions, please approach the release management
team, we're always happy to hear from you.
