Does pants follow a release schedule or so? Concretely, I am interested in when the next 2.22rc and the final release might happen. Is that known or decided adhoc? Happy to read up this somewhere if you have a pointer.

The intention is theoretically a dev/rc release once a week (plus extras on demand, as required), and new stable releases every ~6 weeks (depending on what fixes are required), but we’ve had some infrastructure issues that have blocked releases recently… I think the issues are mostly resolved and i’m coincidentally working on getting the next batch out today, so hopefully a 2.22 rc will be available in the next few hours (follow #announce for the latest).

Thanks @broad-processor-92400!

Yeah, was looking at that earlier, I think it's ready, TBH. I can cut one more rc tomorrow.
