[cross-project-issues-dev] Simultaneous release cadence change after Photon
|
Hi,
The planning council has decided to change the simultaneous release
cadence after Photon to give up with the year long ramp-up to the
release for a rolling release.
After Photon, we will move from a 1 year release cycle to a 13 weeks
cycle. The releases will occur end of June, September, December and
March each year.
There are many different motivations to update the release cadence. The
main ones are:
* Ease the update from one release to another for the end user
* Let developers provide new features faster to their users
* Simplify the maintenance by keeping only one stream for contributors
The release cycle would be :
M1 Friday Week 3
M2 Friday Week 6
M3 Friday Week 9
RC1 Friday Week 10 : API & Feature freeze
RC2 Friday Week 11 : Only fixes, all code is done by the end of RC2
GA Wednesday Week 13
Due to this rolling release, our yearly code name pattern does not make
sense anymore. This is still under discussion a bugzilla is open to
continue the discussion on this topic:

A FAQ is available on the wiki to answer the most common questions about
this new cycle :
