Schedules/Plasma 5
This page contains the planned release schedule for Plasma 5.
Frameworks tags on first Sat of the month and release on following Thursday.
Plasma .0 tags on Frameworks release Thursdays and release on following Tuesday. Beta tag/release on Thursday 2 weeks before. Bugfix tag/releases are on Tuesdays after .0 release in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 after initial.
This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release, it is subject to revision.
All deadlines are due midday UTC, but if you need a few more hours, notify someone from the release team.
Release dude: Jonathan Riddell, Riddell in #plasma on Freenode
