1: 4.6 release - timeline
Posted by Janine Ohmer on 08/19/02 05:20 PM
The suggested timeline for the 4.6 release goes like this:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Code freeze on September 15th
<li>Beta release on October 1st
<li>Final release on October 15th
</ul>
These dates are out a bit farther than was originally planned, but
we've all lost a bit of time with the whole governance flap and the
transition from Neophytos to me.
<p>
So, do these dates sound reasonable, especially to those who are being
asked to meet them?  Any discussion, please post here.

That sounds reasonable!

From a testing perspective what is being planned? i.e. are you looking for a test phase for both the beta and the final release, or are you seeing the final release as beta + testing + fixes from testing?

If the latter then you'll have to leave more time between beta and final I think. Past experience has taught me that getting testing done is difficult (lack of testers/facilities). If not we should be OK..

Let me know, and when decided I can post up for testing volunteers.

Cheers
Simon

I think we should decide at the time we release the beta.  If bugs are being found fast and furious then we should probably have more of a test cycle, pushing out the date for the final release, but if things are looking pretty clean then I think we can do without.

Sound ok?
