One open PR remaining for this milestone, #12414. I tried to run the test in the description, but it failed. So, letting it go for now.
- Merged #12190
- Reviewed @miri64 release PR #138 on IP fragmentation
- Only bug fix PRs should be left.
There are three open PRs remaining. Working through how to resolve those.
Latest status below on open PRs for release.
#12408 gnrc_netif: only use prefix matching as tie-breaker in source selection
This issue just popped up today. I'm concerned by the complexity. Let's think this one through overnight, and re-evaluate 10 Oct AM.
#12375 tests: prepare for RIOT-OS/Release-Specs#137
Depends on tests in Release-Specs #138. @kb2ma to review that ASAP.
#11477 Tracking: move CPU/CPU_MODEL to Makefile.features
Now that #12410 has been merged, this one should be an "automatic" merge as a tracking issue. We will re-evaluate 10 Oct AM.
