Opencast 13 release branch cut

by Matthias Neugebauer, posted in Releases

Hi everyone, the Opencast release branch (r/13.x) has been cut. Please check if pull requests point to the correct branch.

For a guide on what you can still add to release branches, please refer to the acceptance criteria for patches in different versions.

Remember the release schedule for this release:

  • Cutting the release branch: November 16, 2022
  • Translation Week: November 21, 2022
  • Public QA phase: November 28, 2022
  • Release date: December 14, 2022

As always, we hope to have a lot of people testing this version, especially during the public QA phase. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter.

For testing, you may use stable.opencast.org if you do not want to set up a test server yourself. The server is reset on a daily basis and will follow the new release branch with its next rebuild.

Additionally, look out for announcements regarding container and package builds for testing on list if you want to run your own system but do not want to build Opencast from source.
