Description
The next Math/Stan/Cmdstan/stanc3 release is scheduled for the 20th of April.
For Stan Math, the next release will be version 3.2.
We will once again have a feature freeze period that will start on the 13th of April.
@ everyone with merging rights: please dont merge any non-bugfix PRs until the release after the 13th of April. The closing of this issue will also serve as a mark that normal merging can continue.
This time we will also have a Cmdstan release candidate that will go out to a wider non-dev audiance. I dont think we need a Math release candidate, but if anyone feels that is necessary, please say so.
I am creating this issue for two reasons:
- as a formal notification to all Math devs that there will be a feature freeze
- to have a central topic for all thing related to the Math release. Please keep all release related discussion (release notes, urgent bugfixes, etc) in this topic. Last release we communicated on various PRs, Discourse topics, emails and it was confusing even for someone following closely.
There are a few open projects in the Math library. If anyone wants to make sure a PR is reviewed in time, feel free to write here.
Similar Stan/Cmdstan/stanc3 issue will be open soon (will edit the post to link them in).
