Animesh I personally believe 4 months cycle is too rapid and we need more time to Qa and fix all issues. I'm finding issues constantly that automated tests missed. My opinion, we should release a stable product when it's ready, hopefully following a 6 months cycle. Regards Ilya

+1 for 6 month cycle till Automation is in place and current backlog of defects are reduced. Once we have automation we can switch to shorter cycles May be having release goals set to meet this criteria ( % of backlog to be cleared + %age of automation to be achieved) might help to reduce the cy

The problem (I am beginning to realize) with extending the release is the temptation to cram in more features. May be use the collab conference to improve release management aspects. What we did right in 4.1, what went wrong, how to better plan 5.0. And that can happen with a 4 or 6 month cycle. I

I side with Dave and Chip on this one. The 4 month dev cycle has forced CloudStack to own up to its problems in planning, testing, and automation. Until that has been settled, going to a longer release cycle is actually not beneficial to this community. --Alex > -Original Message- >

I see where David is coming from. The longer you leave a release branch, the harder it becomes to QA, the harder it comes to test, and the harder it becomes to release. As has been mentioned already, you can think of this as a "release cost". More regular releases keep complexity down, and reduce
