Release 2.2.0: what changed
Revision 1 to 2. Removed lines have a minus sign; added lines have a plus sign.
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | ## Release organization | |
| 2 | 2 | ||
| 3 | 3 | 1. Before releasing 2.2.0 there will be a public beta available for about two months. The version number of the beta will be 2.1.4 (aka 2.2.0-beta) | |
| 4 | 4 | 2. Before the beta there will be an 'internal' release, 2.1.2 to test the build-proces on all platforms. The release of 2.1.2 is the 'feature freeze' for version 2.2.0. In principle between version 2.1.2 and 2.1.4 only build-related patches are allowed. | |
| 5 | 5 | 3. Version 2.1.4 will be public and announced. From the release of 2.1.4 on, no new features will be added and no functionality will be removed. Only bug fixes are allowed. | |
| 6 | 6 | 4. About two months after version 2.1.4, there will be (at least one) release candidate for version 2.2.0. | |
| 7 | 7 | 5. Is the release canidates are satisfactory, 2.2.0 will be released | |
| 8 | 8 | ||
| 9 | 9 | Merging patches should be done by the developers who are 'responsible' for that part of the code. | |
| 10 | 10 | ||
| 11 | 11 | Timeline so far: | |
| 12 | 12 | ||
| 13 | 13 | 1. Friday the 16th version 2.1.2 will be tagged from the fixes_2_2 branch. | |
| 14 | 14 | 2. If things go well, 2.1.4 will be tagged friday the 30th. If we are lucky, the release of 2.1.4 can be in the week thereafter. | |
| 15 | 15 | ||
| 16 | 16 | ## Release procedure ([[Release Template]]) | |
