Hi, I've typed my thoughts on the release cycle over at
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:JesterKing/ReleaseCycleNotes (also contains a pretty picture) but here in short the high-lights: * if we go for a release just with Blender Conference (24th of October) * we could do a three week stabilizing: RC dates could be - 30th September (cut-off date - 2.81 stabilizing branch created, RC1) - 7th (RC2), 14th (RC3), 21th (RC4) October - After RC4 there should be no show-stoppers, meaning the RC4 could be rereleased as official 2.81 (proper tagging in repos) * blender:release-target custom field for Maniphests in use during week 33 * weeks 33-39 (2019.08.12-2019.09.29) time to work on new stuff and improving existing After 2.81 (Blender Conference) we could settle into 3-month cycle that would allow for targetting releases around SIGGRAPH and Blender Conference. Nothing has been set in stone regarding dates, but this week I want to implement at least the basic custom field for maniphests. There should be no changes to how we all type code in the coming weeks. Have a good week! /Nathan _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
