There's no set schedule. New major versions are released when the developers think that the new features are useful and stable enough for general use. Minor versions are bugfixes and other very minor changes. Historically, major versions have been supported for at least two years (ie, they get security updates and should remain compatible with the rest of the network), though this is not guaranteed.
I think that 0.10 is basically in feature freeze. A release candidate should be coming any day now. Then there will probably be at least a few weeks of public testing before the real release.
Topic: Question about the development cycle. (Read 768 times)
Hi,
I recently discovered the 0.10 branch on github and read somewhere that there are new releases (like 0.10, 0.11, ..., 0.n) are planned at a rate of around 6 months. But I cant remember where I read that. Is there any official schedule or release cycle information available?
I already sneaked into the 0.10 branch and it looks promising. A lot of stuff happening. Is this branch already considered in feature freeze? How are releases and version numbers organized?
On github I can only find technical information on how releases are managed.
