Hi All, I'm attempting to sketch out the release schedule for Evergreen 2.8, so I'd like to run some dates/thoughts by everyone.
For starters, unless someone requests it, I'm not planning to cut an Alpha release. I've never seen anyone install one :). I'm happy to cut one if desired, though. Proposed schedule: * Jan 14 2015: Feature Target Deadline This is the date where all features we expect to get into 2.8 are documented in LP and targeted to 2.8. They do not have to be coded or tagged as pull requests by this date. They just need to be documented. As before, this is a strong recommendation, but not a hard deadline. Feb 18 2015: Feature Freeze >From this date forward, only bug fixes may be committed to master. Any un-merged features will be booted to 2.9. Feb 25 2015: 2.8.beta1 Release March 9 2015: 2.8.rc1 Release March 18 2015: 2.8.0 Release Comments/suggestions welcome. Note that in the future I'll avoid cross-posting to both -general and -dev lists and just send 2.8 updates to -general to cut down on noise. Thanks, everyone. -b
