the Thunderbird developers have finalized the release schedule for
Thunderbird beta4. Here it is (All dates use time of 23:59 PST):
* Slushy Code Freeze date: 2009-09-07 (Monday)
* Firm String freeze date: 2009-09-09 (Wednesday)
* Firm Code Freeze date: 2009-09-11 (Friday
* l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: 2009-09-14 (Monday)
* Release builds start: 2009-09-15 (Tuesday)
* Estimated release date: 2009-09-22 (Tuesday)
These dates have the following goals:
* All code-related work should ideally be done by the slushy code
freeze date
* The firm code freeze date will be for fixing the remaining
blocker bugs and bugs that have release driver approval (beta4
release driver is Mark Banner, Standard8 on IRC)
* The l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 date would be the last time by which we
would accept changes in localizations
The most obvious change for localizers (compared to the previous beta
releases) is that we removed the slushy string freeze. We felt that
the slushy string freeze caused more confusion than was necessary.
As a trade-off we have added additional time between the firm string
freeze and the l10n-cutoff date, to make it easier for localizers to
get their locales in shape.
