Hi,
qemu 1.7 is almost out of the door. I want update seabios early in the 1.8 devel cycle. Time to do resume the release planning since we've scratched the idea to do a last-minute bios update for 1.7.
I'd like to see a seabios release from the master branch in december. Ideally we'll put a prerelease into qemu before the final release so we get some testing. We could either explicitly tag a release candidate or just grab a snapshot for that.
Commit pending patches, enter seabios freeze, prepare seabios update for qemu can be done next week I think. Then have 2-3 weeks freeze period, tag final release before xmas. In case something doesn't go as planned early january.
So that would look like a SeaBIOS feature freeze on Dec 6th and target release date of Dec 20th. Works for me.
Pending patches:
- my ahci and pci patches sent this week.
- anything else?
How we wanna call the baby? 1.7.4? 1.8.0?
I'd say v1.7.4.
