mesa 24.3.0-rc2

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 15, 2024,
updated Nov 15, 2024

Hi list,

We have a fairly small RC2 today, with a bit of work across the board. We currently only have 2 open blocking issues, and given that we delayed the branchpoint by 3 weeks, I wouldn't object to pulling in the RC period by 1 week and have rc3 rather than rc4 be the final release, if we can get all of the issues closed in time.
Cheers, Dylan
