EoY 2018 Release Freeze

Dear engineers, product managers, marketing teams, operation teams and all stakeholders,

We are nearing the end-of-year peak season of Christmas and New Year's holiday.

As announced earlier, we will freeze production changes and software releases to minimize the risk of service disruption during the peak season effective from Dec 5, 2018 to Jan 8, 2019. Last production change and software releases in this year are only allowed latest by Tuesday, Dec 4, 2018. Exceptions are only allowed for critical releases or hotfixes with critical business impact following the process described in 2018 EoY Release Freeze and Preparation document.

Consequently, the last mobile app version before the freeze is v3.6 with the expected release candidate schedule on Nov 19-21, 2018.

Important documents and actionables:

Feel free to share this note on other relevant channels. Thanks for collaborating to ensure another smooth peak season.
