Kratos: Release 7.0.0

[pooyan-dadvand]

8 days to freeze the release branch

Dear @KratosMultiphysics/all,

The branch for release 7.0.0 will be created on 15th of February. I would encourage all @KratosMultiphysics/team-maintainers to update the applications to add their corresponding issues to the release 7.0 milestone so we can track the progress and steps toward release. We should address as much as possible the errors and bugs in this milestone. Also it is very important to have the all the tests working for the release.

Dear @KratosMultiphysics/team-maintainers remember that the freeze will be done tomorrow at 18:00 CET.

If you plan to include something after this time, please let me know.

Edit:
Sorry for the confusion, the release is at 6:00 PM CET (18:00). I've edited accordingly

Dear @KratosMultiphysics/team-maintainers
We have a delay with #4045, once its merged we will freeze the release branch.

We apologize for the delay.

[philbucher]

@roigcarlo did you freeze the branch?

[roigcarlo]

Yup: https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/tree/Release-7.0

[pooyan-dadvand]

Thanks @roigcarlo!!

Is there any reason that the name of the branch is not all lower case?

[roigcarlo]

No, but all release branches are in capital :S

[pooyan-dadvand]

Just to communicate that the support for AMatrix has been dropped in this release due to the #3980.

[pooyan-dadvand]

@KratosMultiphysics/team-maintainers would you please proceed with updating the what is new section in the readme.md files of each application?
