Thread: PostgreSQL 13 Feature Freeze + Release Management Team (RMT)

Hi,

The Release Management Team (RMT) for the PostgreSQL 13 is assembled and
has determined that the feature freeze date for the PostgreSQL 11
release will be April 7, 2020. This means that any feature for the
PostgreSQL 13 release **must be committed by April 7, 2020 AOE**
("anywhere on earth")[1]. In other words, by April 8, it is too late.

This naturally extends the March 2020 Commitfest to April 7, 2020. After
the freeze is in effect, any open feature in the current Commitfest will
be moved into the subsequent one.

Open items for the PostgreSQL 13 release will be tracked here:

    https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_13_Open_Items

For the PostgreSQL 13 release, the release management team is composed
of:


  Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie>
  Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@2ndquadrant.com>
  Jonathan Katz <jkatz@postgresql.org>

For the time being, if you have any questions about the process, please
feel free to email any member of the RMT.  We will send out notes with
updates and additional guidance in the near future.

Thanks!

Jonathan

As a reminder, the commit fest and feature freeze for PostgreSQL 13 (not
11) starts at '2020-04-08T00:00:00-12'::timestamptz -- all new features
for PostgreSQL 13 must be committed by then.

All the best for the final push. I have seen some very exciting patches
land and PostgreSQL 13 is shaping up to be another excellent release!
