I am assuming this is part of point 1.iv, but we should definitely discuss if the client freeze on the 19th of May is still ok. We have possibly more EIPs for London and also possible changes to 1559.
Did some kitchen planning how things might go with the current updates and changes:
CW19 (May 10-16): Clients implement/merge new EIPs / 1559 changes (so: next week)
CW20 (May 17-23): Baikal testnet can be launched, testnet running, bug fixes
CW21 (May 24-30): Hopefully stable testnet (Baikal) run
Relevant target dates (taken from here):
Client Freeze: May 19
Clients Release: June 2
First testnet fork (Ropsten): June 9
Just as some orientation for discussion and preparation.
Timeline getting denser, but might still work with the intended client freeze date I would think on first look? 🤔 (actually: what is the intended definition of "client freeze", I guess bug fixes are still "allowed" 😄 , but the spec should be implemented and PRs merged?)
The goal of the "client freeze" was to give teams two weeks between any changes and when they need to have a release ready for a blog post announcement for London. At that point, you would hope all the PRs are merged and the only thing that happens are possibly bug fixes.
We definitely need to discuss this on the call based on the progress made, and the decisions taken tomorrow in #308
I would be curious to hear an update on the merge testnet and any updated thoughts on the merge timeline.
@lightclient agreed - I will add "merge updates" at the end if someone wants to walk through Rayonism and next steps. My hope is we use this call to wrap up London details, and worst case if that takes the entire call, we can focus on the merge in more depth next time.
Only needs to be mentioned briefly: I'm planning a sync call and Resource document for 1559 UIs - if you're a wallet or interface designer, please reach out to me (@ trent_vanepps) to be added to the calendar invite when we have a time chosen
