 			<h3>What is the game plan?</h3>
 			<p>
 	 		The Eclipse Kepler 4.3 Service Release 1 ("Kepler 4.3 SR1") endgame involves building
 	        a series of release candidates leading to the Eclipse project's contribution to the
 	        Kepler 4.3 SR1 release. The Eclipse project version number for this release is 4.3.1.
 	        By its nature, this maintenance release contains fixes to a small number
 	        of serious problems found in the June 2013 Kepler 4.3 release. We make and verify each
 	        fix carefully, so that we do not need to tie up the entire development
 	        team in time-consuming test passes. As always, we welcome help from the
 	        community with testing the release candidates. By default, Kepler 4.3 SR1
 	        is supposed to work exactly like the initial Kepler 4.3 release except for the problems we intended
 	        to fix. All problems fixed in Kepler 4.3 SR1 are in the Eclipse bugzilla database
 	        and flagged with Target Milestone &quot;4.3.1&quot; (query bugzilla for
 	        the <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;resolution=FIXED;target_milestone=4.3.1;product=Equinox;product=JDT;product=PDE;product=Platform;classification=Eclipse;classification=RT">complete
 	        list of bugs fixed in Kepler 4.3 SR1</a>). So we're most interested in identifying
 	        regressions where we've changed something that we did not intend to.
 	        </p>

 	        <p>General announcements during the Kepler 4.3 SR1 endgame are posted to the
 	        <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/platform-releng-dev">platform-releng-dev@eclipse.org</a>
 		    developer mailing list. Anyone participating in the endgame should be subscribed
 			to this list, and should direct any general questions and comments about the process
 			there as well.</p>

 		   <strong>RC1</strong>
 		   <p>
 		   Release candidate 1 is a warm-up build to ensure the release train build
 		   process is in place and all projects are making contributions. All fixes submitted
 		   to maintenance stream builds must have a component lead vote on the bug report,
 		   and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than
 		   the one who made the fix).
 		   </p>

 		   <strong>RC2</strong>
 		   <p>
 	        Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding
 	        defects that we intend to fix for Kepler 4.3 SR1. At the end of RC2 build,
 	        there should not be any open defects tagged 4.3.1. All fixes submitted
 	        to maintenance stream builds must have a component lead vote on the bug report,
 	        and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than
 	        the one who made the fix).
 	        </p>

 	        <strong>Test pass using RC2</strong>
 	        <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort using RC2 involving entire community including
 	        all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes and check for any regressions.
 			</p>

 	        <strong>RC3</strong>
 	        <p>Release candidate containing fixes for all known outstanding defects
 	        that we intend to fix for Kepler 4.3 SR1. All fixes submitted to RC3 must have a PMC vote on the bug report,
 	        and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than
 	        the one who made the fix).
 	        Ensure that all feature/plugin versions have been consistently incremented when needed.
 	        </p>

 	        <strong>Test pass using RC3</strong>
 	        <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort using RC3 involving entire community
 	           including all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes, check
 	           for any regressions and sanity check our RC3 candidate.
 	         </p>

 	         <strong>RC4</strong>
 	         <p>Release candidate 4, if required, to fix problems detected during the test pass.
 	         We expect NO CHANGE at this point. If you find a show stopper, please notify ASAP the
 	         <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse-pmc">eclipse-pmc@eclipse.org</a> mailing list.
 	         All fixes submitted to RC4 must have a PMC vote on the bug report and be reviewed
 	         by an additional committer (any committer other than the one who made the fix).
 	         </p>
 	         <p>No test pass is scheduled unless significant contributions occurred. If so,
 	         then Thursday would be elected for a one day test pass</p>

 			<strong>API change approval</strong>
 	        <p>
 			No API changes are expected during a maintenance release. Any exception must be
 			approved by the PMC. No changes are to be released without prior approval
 			and associated bug report. Send the request for approval to the eclipse-pmc
 			mailing list. If a change is made to API to make it binary compatible with
 			a previous release, technically this is still an API change, and thus it should be treated
 			in the same way as any other API change requests.
 			</p>

 			<strong>Kepler 4.3 SR1 Release</strong>
 			<p>The Kepler 4.3 SR1 release should be complete and available for download by
 	              the end of September 2013 as part of the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Kepler">Kepler
 	              coordinated service release</a> . If product teams intending
 	              to ship on Kepler 4.3 SR1 uncover further serious defects during the endgame,
 	              we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes.

	<strong>Kepler 4.3 SR1 Release</strong>
	<p>The Kepler 4.3 SR1 release should be complete and available for download by
	the end of September 2013 as part of the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Kepler">Kepler
	coordinated service release</a> . If product teams intending
	to ship on Kepler 4.3 SR1 uncover further serious defects during the endgame,
	we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes.
