Yesterday a number of us had a teleconference to update our task tracking for the 3.0 release. The current spreadsheet gives us the following dates for the various alpha/beta releases:
Alpha1: 2020-04-15 Alpha2: 2020-05-04 Alpha3: 2020-06-10 Beta1: 2020-06-12 Comparing this to the official timeline here: https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html Which says: Alpha1: 2020-03-31 Alpha2: 2020-04-21 Alpha3: 2020-05-21 Beta1: 2020-06-02 Until quite recently we were tracking fairly closely to the target dates, but the last week or so has seen us drift out a bit. As can be seen from the above we're about 2 weeks out at the moment. This is primarily due to the key generation work being more complicated and significant than we had anticipated. So, right now, it looks to me like we won't be releasing alpha1 next week as originally planned. Matt
