[wtp-dev] WTP 1.5.5 Information

[John Lanuti <jlanuti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Team,

The WTP 1.5.5 plan has met PMC approval
and is ready for general review and consumption.

WTP 1.5.5

Scope: 

WTP 1.5.5 is a service release for critical defects, regressions, and adopter
issues only. There should be no translation or UI changes, nor should it
affect any API reported through the adopter scanning tools. 

Bug Approval: 

All bugs must be approved by the normal PMC
Approval Process. 

Timeline:

The proposal is that to keep focus on
WTP 2.0 shutdown, we don't actually start development until the end of
June and don't declare an M build until July 13th.  Then, we take
the biweekly approach we did in 1.5.4, with a few RC shutdown weeks leading
to an August 31 GA.  RDB will work throughout May and June since they
don't have any 2.0 work and are preparing migration efforts to DTP.


May 11-June 22  RDB Fixes
June 29 All Component Fixes
July 13  M Build
July 27  M Build
Aug 10 M Build
Aug 17 RC1
Aug 24 RC2
Aug 31 1.5.5 GA
