Formalised release schedule
=================
We normally just do a release and that's it. It's still tentative, and this
may change, but it has so far been decided that the 2025 release schedule will
look like this:
UPDATE: the text of this section was removed on 17 January 2025.
* April 13th: testing release
* June 12th: stable release
* October 31st: testing release
* December 6th: stable release
Please read the following new article instead:
Where any release is made, revisions such as today's 20241206 revision 8 can
be re-released. On stable releases, only the most desirable improvements and
fixes will be made, without substantially altering the substance of the
original release, while testing releases can have wilder revisions; where the
current release is a testinng release, revisions should be frozen in place
about 1 month before the scheduled stable release.
This is preferable because it offers much more flexibility, and it means that
stable releases can be closer to upstream whereas previously they'd be
about 3-6 months behind, e.g. the Libreboot 20241206 release uses coreboot
revisions from the summer of 2024, but some of them are closer to December
of 2024.
This was decided, ever since the 20241206 release, which just so happened to
compliment a 20240612 release. Symmetry is good, as is predictability.
