3 years ago @samskalicky is there a timeline for mac wheels being available on pip? I noticed the post0 release of 1.8 for Linux on 3/30, but Mac wheels are still missing.
@fhieber currently we only release Linux wheels as part of our release process. The Windows and Mac wheels are currently built by other community members (@yajiedesign for Windows, @szha for Mac) outside of the normal release process. At some point in the future we hope to integrate the building of these into the release process but where not there yet.
I see, thanks. It would be helpful to make this clear on the website where selection of MacOs/Python/{CPU,GPU} still shows the pip option. What is the recommendation for downstream projects like Sockeye what to build against by default in their CI systems, only Linux?

Hi MXNet community,
Now that the 1.7.0 release development is closed (and in the midst of the release process), I wanted to start a discussion around another 1.x based release. There are many users that will continue to use 1.x for the foreseeable future while the community transitions to 2.x. Some examples are those who are using toolkits (ie. GluonCV/NLP/etc.) that are pinned to a 1.x version of MXNet.
Are there features that we want to make available in a 1.8.0 release while the 2.0 transition is ongoing?
Feature freeze (code freeze) was September 18th.
