GNOME 46 Schedule
Contents
This is the development schedule for GNOME 46.
Important information for module maintainers:
- Tarballs are due by 23:59 UTC on the Saturday specified
- Freezes begin by 23:59 UTC on the Saturday specified
- In order to ensure adequate testing, core modules should try to release according to the unstable schedule if they have nontrivial changes.
- 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 the deadline will be included in the next update of the GNOME runtime.
- The .0 stable release is special. All modules that had an unstable release during the release cycle must release to ensure a stable version number, even if there have been no changes since the previous release.
There's a MaintainersCorner wiki page with general helpful information
Please report any improvements against the release notes project
