Yes, it is correct. I have just tried to slightly improve https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#Summary and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#Schedule You might want to read the rules for committing into the different branches, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Branches In theory, it is possible to get feature even into the bugfix release. In practice, it happens only for .1 or .2 bugfix release and only very rarely. And it is never anything big. These are usually some changes where it is hard to decide if it is a feature or a bug fix. Also you might want to look at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/ http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=libreoffice-4-0 It shows that master branch got more commits within last 24 hours than the stable 4-0 branch within 2 weeks. It shows that we are pretty conservative about the stable and feature complete branches.
