@annadanchenko probably we would want to actually update the release schedule as a part of the release process too.

[annadanchenko]

agreed with @rachelhamlin to add extra 1 week before release, so more features can be added. Candidates to be added (in progress now):

• Basic ERC-20 support https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/7983
• Sending bug reports with logs to Status email

new release dates:
Expected feature freeze date: May 22, 2019
Expected release date: May 28, 2019

[annadanchenko]

to add to release:
https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/8142 App version and more details in logs email
https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/8281 Report a bug template
https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/8141 Send logs on shaking device

The Clojure conflicts when cherry picking those changes are to big for me. You'll need a dev to merge those into release/0.13.x.

[mandrigin]

@jakubgs I'll take a look

[mandrigin]

cherry-picked

[annadanchenko]

@rachelhamlin can you help with release notes, please?
@j-zerah it looks like we will be ready for release on May 28, 2019. Is it ok with you if it goes to public at 15:00 CEST, May 28?
