KDE 3.5 Release Plan
The following is the outline for our KDE 3.5 release schedule.
KDE 3.5 is the fifth (and this time really last) feature release in the KDE 3.x series.
The list of planned features can be found in a separate document.
All dates given here are subject to revision, but we will try our best to stick to them if possible.
Stephan Kulow is acting as release coordinator for the 3.5 releases .
KDE 3.5
August 1st, 2005: Officially close of feature list
The list of features for KDE 3.5 should already be settled by then, but after that date are only KDE 4 features.
August 5th, 2005: Alpha 1 prepared
Alpha 1 will be source only - without translations.
August 25th, 2005: branches/KDE/3.5 is feature frozen
The 3.5 branch is frozen for feature commits. Only bugfixes are to be committed. Still, binary compatibility is not required, i18n string changes are allowed.
September 5th, 2005: Message Freeze
After this date the same message freeze applies as for released versions (i.e. only previously untranslated strings or clear errors in strings can be fixed - no new strings)
September 10th, 2005: tags/KDE/3_5_beta1 created
The 3.5 branch is tagged as Beta 1 and is frozen for nonurgent commits till 14th.
September 13th, 2005: Beta1 is prepared
Beta 1 is prepared and released after some initial testing. The incoming bugs will be reviewed for their severity.
After that?
We don't know yet how things develop and the Akademy event might change something unforseen. So I would prefer to leave it open if we have a second beta or release right after beta1. I would guess, we don't need a second one for KDE 3.5. So the targeted release day would be towards end of october (4 weeks of giving beta1 testing, one or two weeks for RCs - release)
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the deal with that feature-plan?
In the past, there were a lot of complaints about a rather long "freeze period", so this is an attempt to address this issue. Basically the idea is that you add an entry about what feature you want to finish in the 3.5 timeframe and mark it as done when you completed it. This helps me to get an overview about the outstanding changes and in return allows you to work on the missing parts even in the "freeze period".
The feature-plan is open for commits till August 1st 2005.Later additions require reviewal first. I will try to respect outstanding entries in the release schedule.
Please understand that although this gives you greater freedom over SVN, it also requires more discipline in making sure that your additions don't have unwanted side effects. |
