Read the Xfce Release Model to understand why this cycle is the way it is.
| Dates | Phase/Deadline | Everyone's Tasks | Release Team Tasks | Maintainer Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015-03-01 - sometime in 2015 | Planning Phase | Elect the release team, discuss dependencies | Discuss and plan porting | |
| sometime in 2015 | Extended Planning Phase | May request dependency changes | ||
| sometime in 2016 | Dependency Freeze | Update dependency info, inform community about the decisions made (dependencies, unguaranteed feature preview) | ||
| until sometime in 2018 | Development Phase | Support Xfce | Supervise development, remind people of deadlines | Porting to Gtk+ 3 and gdbus (no new features). |
| currently ongoing | Release Phase | Wait patiently | Perform releases, remind people of deadlines | Perform releases of own components if desired |
| 2019-05-19 | Xfce 4.14pre1 (Soft String Freeze) | Prepare release announcements, release Xfce 4.14pre1 | Make sure the latest development release is in good shape and uploaded. Try to avoid making string changes since this release will most likely skip pre3! | |
| 2019-06-30 | Xfce 4.14pre2 (String + Code Freeze) | Prepare release announcements, release Xfce 4.14pre2 | Make sure that strings in the latest development release or in master are good | |
| 2019-07-28 | Xfce 4.14pre3 (Final Freeze) | This is an optional release (release team decides whether we need or skip it in favor of the final release) | ||
| 2019-08-11 | Xfce 4.14 (Final Release) | Celebrate | Prepare release announcements, release Xfce 4.14, branch for stable release, merge ELS branches into master | Make sure to upload a new release of own components before this deadline |
