Release 2020.06 #1827
Description
This issue will serve as a megathread, live status, and planned timeline for the 2020.06 release.
This is a complicated release because we currently have 4 release streams that are merging back down into 2. There will be two halves to this release. The first half is normal release that concludes this sprint. The second half is an off-beat release that may take up to a sprint as we verify breaking changes in product, stabilize, and prepare notes, blog posts, v4.patternfly.org, and potentially other PatternFly press for consumers detailing the benefits of our v4 release and how to upgrade.
Release coordinator: @redallen
Status
The release is live and we're wrapping up codemod fixes.

Footnotes
-
This is the part I am most unsure about. Some products may be able to integrate our changes in a single day. It may take other weeks. It all depends on what components they are using (and how). For product developers, this looks like upgrading to v4, updating their code, and verifying their sites visually. For PatternFly developers, this looks like writing codemods and debugging errors. For community managers, this looks like evangelizing v4, encouraging product developers, and pairing them with PatternFly developers if they have problems. Getting the community onboard is extremely important or people will stay on our v3 line forever. ↩
