Hello, I'm tim, I'm the pm for the package stage, and today I wanted to highlight a few issues that we have scheduled for milestone, 13.12, which is scheduled for release next month on may 22nd.

Okay, so we have a bunch of issues scheduled. Our primary focus for the milestone is really on performance, scalability and usability. So I'm going to highlight a few issues that we're working on, but you could always feel free to check out our issue board or our planning issue to see more details.

So on scalability. One thing that we're really focused on this milestone and in the coming milestones is improving the process of the cleanup policies for your container registry. This issue will focus on adding scalability so that we can roll out the policies for more and more historical projects. Right now, the projects are turned off by default, for projects created before 2019, so we'd like to turn those on, and this issue will help us address uh the scalability for that uh two milestones ago.

We added a feature to the package registry that allowed you to allow allowed you to allow or disallow duplicate, maven and gradle uploads we'd like to do the same thing for the generic package registry, which is being used heavily by our customers. So you'll be able to say choose whether or not you want to allow duplicates, and if so, are there any exceptions, and you could do this using the the name and the rejects.

Finally, uh for ux improvement so for package we have settings split in two different locations in the project and then the group uh in the in the group it's currently under packages and registries, but and the project is currently under ci cd, we're going to align those and you will have a new subheading called packages and registries.

Okay, that's some of the things we're working on but feel free to go over to the issue and check out uh some of our additional uh issues and stretch goals and, if feel free, to reach out to me at tvz, gitlab.com and I'll talk to you in the issues.
