Add op-determinism info to version 2.7 release notes #52971
Conversation
@goldiegadde, the change to the outside-Google contributions list was just to add my name, which was/is missing. I wonder if others are missing. |
So, the process for the release notes is as follows:
Now, if we take this PR, it will be included in a future patch release. However, for patch releases we have separate release notes, so it won't show up there either. |
Thank you, @mihaimaruseac. I'm very grateful for you providing a comprehensive roadmap for updating release notes. In the past, it's been challenging for me to figure out what to do. I'm wondering if these procedures are now recorded somewhere central and permanent. From what you wrote above, my understanding is that even if this PR is approved and merged, its contents will be lost in the r2.7 branch So that we don't just bin this useful info, what are your thoughts on us adding these changes (instead) to the master branch's Also, even though I judge myself for being so vain, and I know that all the wonderful folks at Google don't get their names on the release notes, I am a little bit miffed that I contributed so much to version 2.7, but, strangely, my name was omitted from the contributors list. Do you know what happened? Have other people's names been omitted? I'm super grateful for all your hard work, and I hope I'm not behaving inappropriately entitled, but I would like to understand what happened with this. |
You raise good questions. I'm going to merge these two PRs and then manually update the GitHub relnotes to sync and also sync on master. Probably it's also better to include these in a 2.8 section with a mention that they were added in 2.7 to make sure people get a chance to find about them if they no longer read 2.7 section. Regarding why the name was omitted, I think that's a bug in our infra. I'll file an internal bug to investigate. |
Thanks @duncanriach for the PR, and thanks @mihaimaruseac for merging this and explaining the situation. Sorry for not looking at this earlier. The release notes changes look good. Two minor points:
Neither of these points are major so I don't think we have to worry about them if we don't want to deal with them. |
Thank you for doing all of that, @mihaimaruseac. @reedwm, the |
This is a PR for the r2.7 branch.
This PR represents release notes that should have been included with version 2.7. I failed to get this completed before the release. I'm hoping that this information can be added to the release notes on GitHub and included in the master branch version of
RELEASE.md
.Please will someone with experience in this area, such as @goldiegadde, direct a procedure for making sure this information lands in the correct place(s).
Before this information is propagated, please will @reedwm and @pkanwar23 review for correctness and completeness. Note that there is a "TODO: confirm exception added" that needs to be removed with respect to
