Here is a list of issues that we are tracking and working to resolve with the Feb 2020 release. We'll tick them off as each is resolved. See any linked issue for progress or resolution details.

• The release date on the 3.1 README is incorrect - Resolved by Update release date #4678

[babelshift]

The release date on the 3.1 README shows as 3/24, but I assume it should be 5/12?

Thanks @babelshift. I've opened #4678 for @rbhanda to review.

I'm a bit lost how we update to this, after a NuGet package update still shows RuntimeInformation.FrameworkDescription as 3.1.3 even though some pages did update.

Thank you

What is fixed in the following packages?

System.Collections.Immutable 1.7.1
System.IO.Pipelines 4.7.2
System.Reflection.Metadata 1.8.1
System.Text.Encoding.CodePages 4.7.1
System.Threading.Channels 4.7.1

Normally I see them listed under Packages updated in this release, but not this time.

Are they also part of 2.1.8 release?

looks like they got updated because of this pull request as I can see in this version change but this PR is not listed in the milestone for 3.1.4

Now that I know what is changed I can test and commit the nuget updates

@rbhanda thaks for updating the release notes, now I see that the packages are part of 3.1.4 release

Is there any word on when this update will be available for CentOS 8?

I realize that you don't host the RHEL8/CentOS8 packages on your own Linux feeds, but I imagine someone at Microsoft has some responsibility to make sure these make it to the AppStream repository?

Closing in favor of #4803
