Hi all,
We are beginning internal QA tests for the upcoming OpenUSD v26.03 release and have formally labeled the code being tested with the `v26.03-alpha` tag on GitHub.
We are tentatively aiming to complete internal QA tests by the end of next week. Assuming all goes well, the v26.03 release candidate is tentatively scheduled to be published the following Monday, Feb 16th with the official v26.03 release scheduled the week after that.
Please let me know if there are any questions, thanks!
- Jim

Any chance to see the CHANGELOG ?

Unfortunately, no. The CHANGELOG requires alot of distillation and editing that we are beginning now that we have an alpha.
