All deadlines are due 23:59 UTC, but if you need a few more hours, notify someone from the release team.

You can also add http://www.kde.org/releaseschedule.ics as remote calendar to korganizer so you always have the release schedule near you.

Thursday, March 14, 2019: KDE Applications 19.04 Dependency Freeze

From this moment on it is not allowed to add new dependencies or bump dependencies versions. It is possible to get an exception for this. Post the patch to phabricator and add the release-team as reviewer. We will check if the dependency is needed and is available on all platforms.

In other words: If you have a feature that requires a new dependency or a version of a dependency that is higher than currently checked for in the build system, you need to have committed this change before this date.

Thursday, March 21 2019: KDE Applications 19.04 Freeze and Beta (19.03.80) tag & release

  • Only bugfixes from this point on.
  • User visible strings are frozen: neither string changes nor new strings are allowed in the stable branch. Exceptions need approval from [email protected].
    • If a string was already part of the software but was not correctly exposed for translation, it can be added to the stable branch.
  • Documentation (handbook) is frozen: exceptions need approval from [email protected].

Beta is tagged (tag name is v19.03.80). As soon as the tarballs have been confirmed to build and the Release Team thinks they meet enough quality it will be released.
