Tarballs are due on 2022-08-06 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 43.beta newstable release, which will be delivered next week. In order to ensure adequate testing, core modules should try to release according to the unstable schedule if they have nontrivial changes. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Saturday 23:59 UTC. Tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late. Tarballs are due on 2022-08-06 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 42.4 stable release, which will be delivered next week. Core modules are not expected to follow the schedule for stable releases. Instead, please release when you judge that a new stable release is required. Modules released before this deadline will be included in the 42.4 update of the GNOME runtime.
