Hi all,

Here is a list of patches targeted for stable release 18.08.1. Please
help review and test. The tentative date for the final release is 28,
February. Before that, please shout if anyone has objections with these
patches being applied.

Also for the companies committed to running regression tests,
please run the tests and report any issue before the release date.

A release candidate tarball can be found at:

    https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?id=v18.08.1-rc3

These patches are located at branch 18.08 of dpdk-stable repo:
    https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/

Thanks.

What is the current targeted release date for 18.08.1? I ask because there are
people looking to package SPDK 18.10, which depends on DPDK 18.08, but needs
several of the fixes queued up here to function fully.

Hi Ben,

So far only one company has run regression tests and reported results on
the RC (pass). I am waiting to hear back from some others before
release. There is a maintainers call tomorrow where I will be asking
about status of validation, so may have a clearer idea after that.

Thanks for asking/sharing, it is good to know if there is a pull for a
release because sometimes it is not clear.

Kevin.

Thanks,
Ben
