Discuss - APISIX Ingress Controller GA

[juzhiyuan]

As more open source users on the ASF Slack and APISIX GitHub channels have asked when the GA version will be released. As one of the maintainers, I have discussed with some of the maintainers (also cc @bzp2010 @nic-6443 @moonming).

The current plan is as follows:

1. Release RC4 before September 1. This version will include some performance optimizations.

2. Release RC5 before October 1.

3. Release the GA version in mid-November. Any reported bugs or performance issues will be addressed prior to this release.

Note: This is not the final timeline. If no new issues are reported in the weeks following the release of RC5, the GA version may be released earlier.

We encourage open-source and enterprise users to adopt the APISIX Ingress Controller 2.x version and provide feedback via GitHub Issues or online meetings (leave a message here). This will greatly contribute to the project's development.

I'll post updates on the latest releases and progress through this issue until GA.

Hello, is this plan still valid? There is not RC5 yet.
