Dani,
Yes, this is a statement about the train, not about the platform. It
was discussed at the Planning Council meeting with other attendees
explaining the Platform team's take on this. But in the end, of course
not all projects will even contribute specific builds for any of the Mx
or RCx builds, but there was a strong desire to see packages built (or
at the very least EPP repos built) for each Mx so that more significant
testing can occur throughout the process. We've often been finding
problems only once there are packages that allow the milestone to be
easily installed. Yes, the quality of the M1 or M3 package may be poor,
but it seems better to find out about problems sooner than than later.
Regards,
Ed

The Eclipse top-level project will not deliver full milestones as
outlined below as this would be way too much overhead for the team.
We will only submit the bits (latest I-build) to week 3 and 9. For
those we will neither have a milestone week nor do any testing nor
provide an N&N. For week 6 we will deliver a complete milestone as we
used to in the old world.
And a minor correction:"The releases will occur end of ..." is wrong.
Correct is what's in the FAQ: "The releases will occur near the middle
of ...".

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Simultaneous release cadence
change after Photon
Sent by: [email protected]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 :
