@opensearch-project/opensearch-core Could we assign someone to this issue to drive the 1.2 release?

[peternied]

@opensearch-project/opensearch-core Could we update this ticket to reflect who is assigned to the 1.2 release?

[peternied]

@mch2 Are you on target for the tomorrows date, there are a number of items in CI/CD that are still open

[mch2]

Hey @peternied, yep we are planning on freezing and cutting the 1.2 branch tomorrow from 1.x.

Once that happens I'll PR the manifest file update to opensearch-build & bump the version on 1.x to 1.3.

@mch2 Until Friday the 12th at noon PST, any tests that use distribution downloader were running against old bits and need to be rerun. Can you please see if your team was impacted, rerun the tests, and then mark the tests run as completed in opensearch-project/opensearch-build#954?

[peternied]

@dblock removed the enhancement label as it doesn't seem to fit this issue to complete the release. Let me know if you have other thoughts.

[mch2]

I don't have permission to update this issue to click those boxes. Everything under the Release section has been completed.

[mch2]

Created suggestion for plugin repo - opensearch-project/opensearch-build#1140.

Post mortem will be performed once folks are back from Thanksgiving break.
