- Increase the post-release ("cool down") margin before we open the feature window. We currently have it 5 days, we could double it to 10 days. That would then reduce the feature window with the same amount of days leaving us with 18 days to merge features.
I did not spot any complaints on that suggestion so I figure we should move in that direction.
Another adjustment to the cycle I think we can do is to even out the feature window and the feature freeze periods a little. A full three weeks for new features:
Like this: RELEASE (on a Wednesday) 10 days cool down (possiblity to decide to do a patch release) FEATURE WINDOW (assuming nothing bad disturbed the peace) 21 days BUG-FIX PERIOD 25 days of no new features/changes RELEASE (on a Wednesday) -- / daniel.haxx.se | Commercial curl support up to 24x7 is available! | Private help, bug fixes, support, ports, new features | https://curl.se/support.html -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
