Not to get into a discussion regarding what constitutes a "Release" for any specific project, whether it's tagging, pushing, announcing[0], updating documentation, creating release notes, publish a release blog post and so on.

A final build of 1.3 was tagged with an accompanying changelog and announcement post. I found it weird that it had no more ceremony, nor any prior submission on hn, and as it had been announced through the kubernetes-announce mailing list for 17 hours, I figured its existence would be interesting to the community, so I submitted it in good faith.

In any case, kudos to everybody working on it and congratulations on the release, whether it's this week or the next.

I'm glad you posted it - thanks!

My understanding is that with the timing of the US holiday, it made more sense to hold off on the official announcement for a few days. So that's why there aren't more announcements / release notes etc; and likely there won't be as many people around the community channels to help with any 1.3 questions this (long) weekend.

You should expect the normal release procedure next week! And if you want to try it out you can, but most of the aspects of a release other than publishing the binaries are coming soon.
