Calligra/Schedules/2.4/Release Plan

See also: Feature Plan, Quality Control

Note

Status: in development, Alpha

For this release, we aim at making Calligra ready for users. We will start making a plan for beta and final releases once the feautres mark for user-readiness in the Feature Plan are implemented, for the time being, we will make monthly snapshots release for people interesting in watching the progress.

Freezes

Soft Freeze, August 31th, 2011

No more features in master. Features in master are restricted to features discussed before hand and that can justify to be necesserary for user readiness.

It is worthwhile to remember that while new features are allowed in the beta cycle, it should be the exception, not the norm.

String Freeze, October 12th, 2011

Any changes to a string needs to be discussed with the translation teams (except for typo that are bug fix and you only need to ping the translation teams). It also means no new features can be added.

Release Candidate

There is no realistic way to be certain when the RC1 will be available, hopefully in 2012, we invite you to check [1] and when the number of tests failure and release critical bugs is near zero, then the time for the RC1 will be very close.

RC 1 (2.3.91)

• Tagging March 2nd (no big merge on that day), branching into the calligra/2.4 branch will happen at that time
• Release March 7th

Final release and maintenance schedule

2.4.0

Hopefully, it will happen three weeks after the RC, if no major problem is discovered.
