As a consequence, two weeks have passed since the RC1. In order to save time in the schedule, we should try to close 17.11 in less than two weeks. I suggest RC3 to be done next week, November 2. The next release candidate is expected to include only some bug fixes, tooling, packaging or documentation updates. This version needs to be tested a lot. Please pay a special attention to the mbuf VLAN flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT which are deprecated and renamed with new meanings. Thank you everyone Happy scary Halloween!
