[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 3.1 - Timeline Tweaks

[Daniel Wells]

Hello all,

This is a final reminder that the normal cutoff for new features in 3.1 is
by end-of-day today.  Once again, here are the bugs in play:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.status%
3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%
3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.
status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=
INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.importance%3Alist=
WISHLIST&field.milestone%3Alist=83887&field.tag=pullrequest&field.tags_
combinator=ANY&search=Search&orderby=id&start=0

I know that a number of those bugs are well in progress, so I expect we'll
get through a number of them.  Thank you for all the testing and tweaking
efforts so far!

What happens next?  I do not plan to cut the beta until later on Friday, so
we will have a day or so buffer to wrap things up and apply final
adjustments.  Please continue to push normally through the end of the day
today.  For tomorrow and Friday, small stragglers may still be allowed, but
please run them by me first, as at that point I will reserve the right to
hold out anything which seems likely to destabilize the release.

I will have limited availability this morning, but will be glued to the
keyboard for most of the afternoon through evening to help test and to
answer questions.

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Dan
