Scope and Timeline for Puppet Platform 6.0.0

[Kenn Hussey]

As Eric mentioned recently, we have started landing changes towards our next major release, Puppet Platform 6.0.0. I would like to draw your attention to the scope and timeline for this release.

Scope

The scope for Puppet Platform 6.0.0 includes features, improvements, and bug fixes. Code for this release should land on ‘master’ branches in git.

Timeline

The “String Freeze” milestone for this release is targeted for September 5. This is the date by which all changes affecting translatable strings must be complete (so that we have time to request, obtain, and merge translations before we ship).

The “Stop Ship Line” milestone, by which time all planned code changes must be complete, is targeted for September 12.

We’ll be organizing the work for this release into a series of monthly target milestones, around the middle of each month from May to September, with the goal of shipping the release on September 18.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of this, please let me know.

Thanks,
