Release and Roadmap Process
Vinovyn @ Flickr
Release Manager: Wei Liu
Accepted Proposal: Tweaked Release Process for Xen 4.7
lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-11/msg00073.html
Reduce release cycle length to 6 months:
– 4 months development
– 2 months freeze, with earlier creation of release branch based on risk assessment
– Xen 4.7 will be slightly longer to support future June / December releases
Fixed and predictable Release dates
– Beginning of June and December of each year
– Eat into next cycle if we don't release on time
Fixed cut-off date:
– Freeze dates: last day of March and September of each year
– No more freeze exceptions, but heads-up mails about freeze will be sent a few weeks
beforehand
Maintenance support: no changes
