            	 		The Eclipse 2023-12 (4.27) release endgame involves building

            
            	        a series of release candidates leading to the Eclipse project's contribution to the

            
            	        2023-03 (4.27) release. The Eclipse project version number for this release is 4.27.

            
            			As always, we welcome help from the

            
            	        community with testing the release candidates. All new features and problems fixed in 2023-03 (4.27) are in the Eclipse github database.

            
            	        </p>


            	        <p>General announcements during the 2023-03 (4.27) 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 after RC1. 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 after RC1 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</strong>

            
            		   <p>

            
            		   All fixes submitted must have a project 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). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means

            
            		   implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report.

            
            		   Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.

            
            		   </p>

            	        there should not be any open defects tagged 4.27. All fixes submitted

            
            	        must have a project 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). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means

            
            		    implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report.

            
            		    Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.

            	        all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes and check for any regressions.

            
            			</p>


            			<strong>2023-03 (4.27) Release</strong>

            
            			<p>The 2023-03 (4.27) release should be complete and available for download by

            	              to ship on 2023-03 (4.27) uncover further serious defects during the endgame,

            
            	              we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes.

	<h3>What is the game plan?</h3>
	<p>
	The Eclipse 2023-12 (4.27) release endgame involves building
	a series of release candidates leading to the Eclipse project's contribution to the
	2023-03 (4.27) release. The Eclipse project version number for this release is 4.27.
	As always, we welcome help from the
	community with testing the release candidates. All new features and problems fixed in 2023-03 (4.27) are in the Eclipse github database.
	</p>

	<p>General announcements during the 2023-03 (4.27) 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 after RC1. 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 after RC1 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</strong>
	<p>
	All fixes submitted must have a project 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). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means
	implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report.
	Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.
	</p>

	<strong>RC2</strong>
	<p>
	Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding
	defects that we intend to fix for 2023-03 (4.27). At the end of RC2 build,
	there should not be any open defects tagged 4.27. All fixes submitted
	must have a project 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). A positive review from a project lead or PMC member means
	implicit approval and no vote is needed on the bug report.
	Ongoing changes to documentation, tests or examples do not require approval.
	</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>2023-03 (4.27) Release</strong>
	<p>The 2023-03 (4.27) release should be complete and available for download by
	March 15, 2023 as part of the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:SimRel-2023-03">2023-03 Simultaneous Release</a>. If product teams intending
	to ship on 2023-03 (4.27) uncover further serious defects during the endgame,
	we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes.
