Schedule for and Status of the Xfce 4.14 Development Cycle
Schedule
This schedule is preliminary and not to be considered final.
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 |
| 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! |
| 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 |
| 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 |
