1 | Release Cycle |
2 | ============= | |
3 | ||
4 | The U-Boot projects attempts to maintain a fixed, predictable Release | |
5 | Cycle as follows: | |
6 | ||
7 | * We will have U-Boot releases at a fixed release interval of (approximately) | |
8 | every 3 months. | |
9 | ||
10 | * Under normal conditions the release date will be the first Monday of the month. | |
11 | ||
12 | * Immediately following each release, there will be a "merge window" of | |
13 | normally 21 days, i. e. if the release was on a Monday, then the merge window | |
14 | will close on the Monday in the 3rd week after the release. | |
15 | ||
16 | While this merge window is open, new features can be added to the U-Boot | |
17 | source tree. This is further expanded on in the :doc:`process`. | |
18 | ||
19 | * After the merge window closes, no new features may be added to allow for a | |
20 | release candidate phase which is intended to fix bugs and regressions. | |
21 | ||
22 | *Note:* While we try to adhere to the release schedule, we will | |
23 | not hesitate and take the liberty to delay a release if there are | |
24 | good reasons, for example if there are known bugs or other technical | |
25 | reasons. The code will be released when it is considered ready | |
26 | without caring too much about the announced deadline. | |
27 | ||
28 | *Note 2:* Even though we follow Linux ways in many respects, there are | |
29 | differences in the actual procedures, which are documented in the | |
30 | :doc:`process`. | |
31 | ||
32 | Version Numbers | |
33 | --------------- | |
34 | ||
35 | Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were | |
36 | changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning into a time stamp | |
37 | based numbering. Regular releases are now identified by names consisting of | |
38 | the calendar year and month of the release date. Additional fields are | |
39 | frequently used to denote the release candidates. They are also used on rare | |
40 | occasions to note a bug fix release on top of the previous stable release. | |
41 | ||
42 | Examples:: | |
43 | ||
44 | U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 | |
45 | U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Bug fix release 1 on top of the November 2009 release | |
46 | U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candidate 1 for September 2010 release | |
47 | ||
