Given 0.21's release date is 2023-07-04 per https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/9814#issuecomment-1613364503 is 0.22's RC still slated for 2023-07-13 ?

Asking because in go-libp2p we are planning to cut 0.29 on 2023-07-10 (a few days ahead of the Kubo 0.22 RC) - knowing this information would help us make a decision on whether we can give our release some more time (to test, include changes, etc.)

[BigLep]

is 0.22's RC still slated for 2023-07-13 ?

Good callout. This will push out at least a week. I have updated the issue description to say:

• Expected RC date: tentatively 2023-07-20 (to be confirmed by 2023-07-07)
• 🚢 Expected final release date: tentatively 2023-07-27 (to be confirmed by 2023-07-07)

[BigLep]

I updated the issue description.

• Expected RC date: 2023-07-20
• 🚢 Expected final release date: 2023-07-27

Any date changes will be communicated here.

[BigLep]

The RC will not happen on 2023-07-20 due to maintainer availability to make it happen and being inflight landing some in progress PRs. The new target date is 2023-07-24.

[BigLep]

My summary understanding of where we're at before doing the RC. (The issues/PRs themselves should be the source of truth though.)

• https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/9989 - I assume @lidel or @hacdias will get this merged
• https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/412 - @aschmahmann will finish coding (and add test) and @lidel will review
• https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/9927 - Needs @aschmahmann review
• https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/10001 - @Jorropo will handle/merge
  • @Jorropo will do the necessary accompaniment of https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/9884 (and need review from someone)

[lidel]

The RC2 or the final version should include the Docker fix for ARM from https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/10021 (added to the MUST list above). Tested and confirmed the fix works as expected.

[BigLep]

The Kubo 0.22 release has been pushed back because we need to get the latest 0.29.x release. It wasn't available in time for 2023-08-04, and we don't release on Fridays. As a result, this has bumped to 2023-08-07.

[marten-seemann]

@BigLep I just merged the PR a minute ago. The release is available now: https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/releases/tag/v0.29.1.

[rekpero]

@BigLep is there any update on the release?

[Jorropo]

@rekpero I'm working on it right now :slightly_smiling_face: if there are no surprises expect tomorrow late morning EU TZ in order to get review in.

[Jorropo]

Release is here https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.22.0 :tada:

[Jorropo]

@galargh the blocking last item on here is Update Kubo docs, running the workflow does not create the PR, what am I missing ?

[galargh]

Looks like you've already updated ipfs-docs last week - https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/pull/1658. Since the repo is already up to date, the command is a no-op.

I have noticed another issue though. Since we released https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.21.1 after https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.22.0, the former was incorrectly marked as latest. Among other things, it means that https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/pull/1668 was created. I now closed it and I manually set the v0.22.0 to latest. I'm also going to link this comment in https://github.com/ipfs/kuboreleaser/issues/17 so that I remember to tackle it when I go through the rest of the feedback.

[Jorropo]

Oh I see thx, so I think this could be closed.
