2019 EoY Release Freeze

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

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 4, 2019 to Jan 7, 2020. Last production change and software releases before the freeze are only allowed latest by Tuesday, Dec 3, 2019. Exceptions are only allowed for critical releases or hotfixes with critical business impact following the process described in 2019 EoY Release Freeze and Preparation document.

Consequently, the last mobile app version before the freeze is v3.17 with the expected release candidate schedule on Nov 18-20, 2019.
