<h3>What is the game plan?</h3>
<p>
The Eclipse Oxygen Update Release 3 ("Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3)") endgame involves building
a series of release candidates leading to the Eclipse project's contribution to the
Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) release. The Eclipse project version number for this release is 4.7.3.
By its nature, this update release contains fixes to a small number
of serious problems found in the June 2017 Oxygen (4.7) release, , as well as carefully selected
feature and API additions. The new feature and API additions must be low-risk by nature, as well
as tested and proven in master before they can be backported.
We make and verify each changes 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, Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3)
is supposed to work exactly like the initial Oxygen (4.7) release except for the problems we intended
to fix. All problems fixed in Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) are in the Eclipse bugzilla database
and flagged with Target Milestone &quot;4.7.3&quot; (query bugzilla for
the <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=Eclipse&list_id=17133736&product=Equinox&product=JDT&product=PDE&product=Platform&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=4.7.3&target_milestone=Oxygen.3">complete
list of bugs fixed in Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3)</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 Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) 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>API change approval</strong>
<p>
No API changes are expected during a update release. Any exception must be
approved by the PMC. No changes are to be released without prior approval
and associated bug report. Please 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>Feature work approval</strong>
<p>
Any feature work must be approved by the PMC. No changes are to be released without prior approval
and associated bug report. Please send the request for approval to the eclipse-pmc
mailing list.
</p>
<strong>RC1 - Feature and API Freeze</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 update stream builds must have a component lead or 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).
<br>
No new features or APIs are allowed after RC1.
</p>
<strong>RC2</strong>
<p>
Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding
defects that we intend to fix for Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3). At the end of RC2 build,
there should not be any open defects tagged 4.7.3. All fixes submitted
to the maintenance stream builds must have a component lead or 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).
</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 Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3). 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>Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) Release</strong>
<p>The Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) release should be complete and available for download by
Wednesday, March 21, 2018 as part of the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Oxygen/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Oxygen.3">Oxygen
coordinated Update release</a> . If product teams intending
to ship on Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) uncover further serious defects during the endgame,
we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes.
