next release schedule

[Toby Dickenson]

Hi all,

When do we want to do the next release, version 2.6?

We had a 6 week beta release feature freeze prior to releasing 2.4,
and that felt like a long time. I suggest 4 weeks beta test will be
sufficient.

The interval between releasing 2.2 and 2.4 was 6 months. If we follow
the same pattern again, that puts the beta release at the end of
December, and the final release at the end of January.

If we want to avoid a clash with the end-of-year disruption, maybe we
make this a 7 month cycle with a beta release at the end of January
and final release of 2.6 at the end of February?

Thoughts please?

Toby

Hi Toby!
I think it's a good idea to have a new release cycle and I've no
preference for a beta release end of the year or in January. Question is
how do we catch more issues if there are any...
