Last release v0.16.0 was proposed at the end of April. and the release day is 27 April, more detail refer v0.16.0 release schedule. It has been almost three months since April. According to our RFC-0067 about quarter-based releases, I hope to release v0.17.0 version at the end of July 2024. It's meaningful especially for AI infra companies which needs regularly merge with release version.In order to continue with our agreed release cycle as per discussion in RFC#67 , I'd like to propose a schedule for our next TVM release: v0.17.0.
This schedule is tentative and may change as we progress through the process. In case dates change, this thread will be kept updated.
The proposed schedule is:
[x] 12 July. 2024 Following three actions should be continuous and coherent:
During this time any reasonable change can be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch
[x] 20 July. 2024 - Cherry-picking hard deadline
During this time only critical changes will be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch as well as the reasoning for adding it
Call for release managers: In case you want to be involved in upcoming releases, please manifest your interest in this thread and we'll try to organise. 😆
