It's time to figure out when we're going to release QEMU 2.4. After a bit of consultation on IRC we came up with:
* 2015-04-25 Beginning of development phase * 2015-06-16 Soft feature freeze. * 2015-07-07 Hard feature freeze. * 2015-07-14 Tag v2.4.0-rc1 * 2015-07-21 Tag v2.4.0-rc2 * 2015-07-28 Tag v2.4.0-rc3 * 2015-08-04 Tag v2.4.0 which should give us some room for slippage without running into KVM Forum (which is Aug 18-21 this year). Reminder of our freeze definitions: Softfreeze: All features should have patches on the list by this date; major features should have initial code committed. Hardfreeze: Only bug fixes committed after this point Note that this time around we've compressed softfreeze to three weeks rather than four, so please try not to stuff too much in just before hardfreeze :-) As usual, schedule is at: http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.4 Note that softfreeze is in three weeks time! Please let me know if you have any suggestions or objections to this proposed timescale -- the conference dates mean the we're a bit restricted, but I think this should work OK. -- PMM
