Fall25 meta-release (https://lf-camaraproject.atlassian.net/wiki/x/FQApAg?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZWIyZGY3YWY4Yzk2NGQxNWFjODlkZGNmYmFmYTVkMDIiLCJwIjoiYyJ9)

  • 40 Fall25 M4 review issues for APIs are opened covering all repositories participating in the meta-release

    • M4 declaration: target date is September 16 (Release Management meeting)

    • M4 review status:

      • see links created by Kevin in RM chat here: https://camara-project.slack.com/archives/C090WU7PL9Y/p1757343252252089

      • 18 M4 review issues with comments by RM team (filter = "- [x] Review comments provided (on behalf of Release Management)" )

      • 5 M4 review issues with RM comments integrated by API teams (filter = "- [x] Review comments addressed (by release PR editor)" )

      • 22 M4 review issues still need RM review (filter = NOT "- [x] Review comments provided (on behalf of Release Management)" )

    • Decision to start doing approvals of the release PRs: yes go for approvals

  • Commonalities 3.4 M4 review

    • Release Management team proposes that @Rafal Artych discusses with the Commonalities team next monday:

      • Do the Commonalities patch release after Fall25 M4. so APIs will only refer to r3.3 in the meta-release

        • Once the Commonalities patch is released, if an API patch release is done, it should include refer to r3.4.

      • Commonalities includes also some further minor fixes

      • Examples of addition small changes that could be included in the patch:

      • Gherkin linting

        • special linting config was done for kyc-match

        • a rule could be changed in the main linting configuration as well to avoid the error.

        • today it does not block the merge

        • @Rafal Artych Let's make Toshi and Kevin happy and update the rule

        • may need to reset the context to apply the new rule (e.g. close and reopen the PR - @Herbert Damker to support)

M5

  • M5 date: target is declaration in the TSC meeting on September 18.

  • Marketing target event - proposed: Webinar on e.g. Oct 9. Press release a week before.
