Beman,
May I humbly suggest "release more often" item as well? Say, as soon as 1 or 2 new libraries are accepted, merged into release branch and it is stable? Or even "try to release at least last-dot-bug-fix release every 2-4 months"?
Good points. We are aiming for a quarterly release. 1.35.0 took five months, but our infrastructure and procedures are improving, so I hope the next one can be done in three months. We probably need to be a bit more specific about schedules. For example, a twelve week schedule might look something like this: * New libraries, major revisions of old libraries, and big infrastructure changes need to be merged in the first three weeks. * Minor fixes can be merged up until three weeks before the release target date. * Release candidate generation and review will begin three weeks before the release target date. --Beman
