Hi,

In preparation to the Firmware-A v2.11 bundle release the following TF-A/TF-A-tests/Hafnium/RMM/CI project tags were applied:

https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v2.11-rc... https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/tf-a-tests/+/refs/tags/v2.11-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/tf-a-ci-scripts/+/refs/tags/v2.11-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/tf-a-job-configs/+/refs/tags/v2.11-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/hafnium.git/+/refs/tags/v2.11-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/hafnium-ci-scripts.git/+/refs/tags/v2.11-... https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/hafnium-job-configs.git/+/refs/tags/v2.11... https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/+/refs/tags/tf-rmm-v0.5.0-rc0

Trees are frozen still accepting security or bug fixes until the release close down happening end next week (hopefully!).

For partners, it will help if tests are run against those trees on downstream platforms and spot any issue hit before the final tagging.

Thanks & Regards, Olivier.

The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.11 has an expected code freeze date of May, 10th 2024.

Refer to the release cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-information...).

Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze.

v2.11 release preparation tasks start from now.

We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind recommendation and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: -For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). -For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 labels in the middle of the patch stack). -Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. -If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or  Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued.

Thanks & Regards, Olivier.
