Hi, I'll be the release manager for Tails 1.6, which is a minor release scheduled on 2015-09-22. For the list of tickets targeting Tails 1.6, have a look at:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=187 Here's the preliminary release schedule: * 2015-09-20: - All branches targeting Tails 1.6 *should* *preferably* be merged into the `stable` branch by noon, CEST. See more about this below. * 2015-09-21: - All branches targeting Tails 1.6 *must* be merged into the `stable` branch by noon, CEST. - Tor Browser 4.5.x, based on Firefox 38esr, is hopefully out so we can import it. - Build and upload Tails 1.6 ISO image and IUKs. - Hopefully start testing Tails 1.6. Again, see below. * 2015-09-22: - Finish testing Tails 1.6 by the afternoon, CEST. - Release Tails 1.6 during late CEST. Note that I above have said that I'd prefer everything to be merged one day earlier than normal. This is because I have a very important AFK event happening on 2015-09-22 and would, if possible, like to be freed from my Tails responsibilities as soon as possible that day. Ideally I would like *everything* (including testing, most notably) but the steps making the release public (announcements on our website/IRC/twitter/Tor blog) to be done late on 2015-09-21. If someone with Git commit rights would like to take over that part (which should be only 5-10 minutes of mindless work, since I will have prepared everything, + waiting for the Mozilla release announcement) I would be very happy. I'd do the remaining post-release steps ASAP on 2015-09-23. This may of course not work out due to last-minute issues, and in particular the timing of the Tor Browser release. However, with this advance knowledge I hope that we can try to keep this schedule on our side at least. If not it wouldn't be the end of the (my?) world. :) Let me know what you think! Testers, please let me know: * if you are available on 2015-09-21, and which times of that day. * if you are available on 2015-09-22, morning to afternoon, CEST.
