@tomchristie mind if we open the wiki and put it there ? It'll make it easier to find for later release managers.

[tomchristie]

I don't want to use a wiki, but I don't mind if we have a page in the documentation which describes our project management & polices etc...

[xordoquy]

Perfect then

[tomchristie]

Ok I think we're good to go on this one. I may create the release notes pull request tomorrow morning unless you get there first. Rest up to you. :)

I'm currently doing them and almost got them finished.
However I noticed I have an issue with #2197
It seems to me it break the deprecation policy within a micro release which is a bad thing.

PR for the release notes and version bump is #2251

[tomchristie]

No actually the rename doesn't matter. We're passing that argument by position, not by keyword argument so if overriding the method then whatever name the developer uses for that parameter will work fine.

Rereading the #2251, I agree with you. Feel free to merge #2251 if you feel ok with it and we'll go on the next steps.

[tomchristie]

@xordoquy Some fixes commented against #2251. What do you think about @kevin-brown and @jpadilla's Q on hyperlinking the issues, or is that a bit much?

[xordoquy]

I'll fix the comment and add the links today.

[tomchristie]

Happy for the release to happen whenever is good for you.

[xordoquy]

Will do this evening.

Note: make sure you have wheels installed while doing the setup.py publish
