Ocata release schedule

Cross-project events

Ocata Design Summit

Planning in Barcelona

ocata-1 milestone

XXX is the ocata-1 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.

ocata-2 milestone

XXX is the ocata-2 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.

Final release for non-client libraries

Libraries that are not client libraries (Oslo and others) should issue their final release during this week. That allows to give time for last-minute changes before feature freeze.

ocata-3 milestone

XXX is the ocata-3 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.

Feature freeze

The ocata-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model. No featureful patch should be landed after this point. Exceptions may be granted by the project PTL.

Final release for client libraries

Client libraries should issue their final release during this week, to match feature freeze.

Soft StringFreeze

You are no longer allowed to accept proposed changes containing modifications in user-facing strings. Such changes should be rejected by the review team and postponed until the next series development opens (which should happen when RC1 is published).

RC1 target week

The week of XXX is the target date for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model to issue their first release candidate.

Hard StringFreeze

This happens when the RC1 for the project is tagged. At this point, ideally no strings are changed (or added, or removed), to give translator time to finish up their efforts.

Final RCs and intermediary releases

The week of XXX is the last week to issue release candidates or intermediary releases before release week. On release week only final-release-critical releases will be accepted (at the discretion of the release team).

Ocata release

The Ocata coordinated release will happen on XXX.
