This page contains the planned release schedule for Plasma 5. This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release, it is subject to revision. All deadlines are due midday UTC, but if you need a few more hours, notify someone from the release team.
This page contains the planned release schedule for Plasma 5.  


=== Soft Freeze: Mon, 10th March  ===
[[Schedules/Frameworks|Frameworks]] tags on first Sat of the month and release on following Thursday.
Codebase is closed for new, unplanned features. Only planned features and bugfixes are allowed in past this point.


=== Alpha 1: Tue, 1st April  ===
Plasma .0 tags on Frameworks release Thursdays and release on following Tuesday.  Beta tag/release on Thursday 2 weeks before.  Bugfix tag/releases are on Tuesdays after .0 release in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 after initial.
Alpha1 is tagged from trunk. As soon as the tarballs have been confirmed to build and the Release Team thinks they meet enough quality it will be released


=== Message & Hard Freeze: Thu, 1st May ===
This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release, it is subject to revision.
Codebase is frozen for new features. Only bugfixes are allowed. (Exception: Features in Wayland-only codepaths, decided by Martin Grässlin). All translated messages (GUI strings) are frozen on this date. Only previously untranslated strings or clear errors in strings can be fixed. No major new strings changes should be done. You cannot add new strings, if you really need one ask kde-i18n-doc for an exception. It is ok to remove strings.


=== Beta: Fri, 9 May tagging, Tue 13 May release ===
All deadlines are due '''midday''' UTC, but if you need a few more hours, notify someone from the release team.
Beta is tagged from trunk


=== Beta 2: Thu June 5 tagging, Tue 10 June release ===
[https://phabricator.kde.org/calendar/ Calendar on Phabricator]
Beta is tagged from trunk


=== Release Candidate: Thu 3 July tagging, Tue 8 July release ===
Release mangler: Jonathan Riddell, Riddell in #plasma on Freenode
All artwork is frozen on this date


=== Final Release: Thursday 10 July tagging, Tuesday 15 July release ===
{|class="wikitable"
The branch is frozen for final release tagging. Only urgent fixes, such as those fixing compilation errors, should be committed.

Revision as of 20:26, 17 February 2018

This page contains the planned release schedule for Plasma 5.

Frameworks tags on first Sat of the month and release on following Thursday.

Plasma .0 tags on Frameworks release Thursdays and release on following Tuesday. Beta tag/release on Thursday 2 weeks before. Bugfix tag/releases are on Tuesdays after .0 release in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 after initial.

This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release, it is subject to revision.

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