  I have some good news about Ledger support; their team had internal discussions and thinks the October schedule can work
• 13:23
  sarang
  They're asking if it's possible to delay the code freeze (originally discussed for August 17) a couple of weeks to allow them to have extra testing
• 13:23
  sarang
  They will still target their app testing for August 17, but would like the extra couple of weeks in case any Monero changes are needed as a result of their testing
• 13:24
  sarang
  IMO that seems entirely reasonable
• 13:24
  sethsimmons
  Thats great to hear :D
• 13:24
  sarang
  I've joined their Slack workspace to have more direct communication if needed as well
• 13:24
  sarang
  Any thoughts on this adjustment to the schedule?

  The code freeze is basically freeze the code for features and only allow for bug fixes
• 14:14
  dEBRUYNE
  So that seems in line with their wish

  dEBRUYNE: yeah, and there's always the possibility that a fix is needed during testing
• 14:22
  sarang
  If there are no objections, I'll tell them that this is fine
• 14:22
  sarang
  but that the planned release date of September 17, and the upgrade date of October 17, are unchanged
• 14:25
  dEBRUYNE
  One month of testing should be sufficient I guess
• 14:26
  sarang
  And I presume that any changes Ledger needs to make on the Monero codebase probably wouldn't affect non-Ledger testing anyway
• 14:26
  sarang
  The CLSAG device-specific stuff is off in its own little area of the codebase
• 14:27
  sarang
  And their request for a possible 2-week window for post-freeze fixes would still allow for 2 weeks of additional testing prior to the release
• 14:27
  sarang
  However, they did say that the intent is to hit the August 17 freeze if at all possible, so the window may not be needed at all
• 15:39
  sarang
  OK, I just confirmed the schedule with the Ledger team
• 15:42
  sarang
  August 17 feature freeze, September 17 release, October 17 upgrade
• 15:43
  sarang
  Plenty of time for testing and user updating
• 16:21

  Yeah i don't see an issue with that. The important IMO was to keep release and hf date. Everybody is happy now. Thanks sarang :)
