[mat-dev] Next release of Memory Analyzer

[Andrew Johnson <andrew_johnson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When should we release the next version of Memory Analyzer?
Either a service release or a new feature release?

I've made some bug fixes and minor enhancements recently - nothing major 
though.

537341 Fixes for DTFJ with for OpenJ9 version 10
342543 New icons so now all queries have icons - which also now work 
better in dark theme.

>After Photon.0, the simultaneous release cadence will move from a 1 year 
release cycle to a 13 weeks cycle.
>The releases will occur at the end of September, December, March and June 
each year. Instead of a one year long ramp-up to a release, there will be 
rolling releases.
