[[Schedules/Frameworks|Frameworks]] tags on first Sat of the month and release on following Saturday.
Normal (non-LTS-)releases are planned every 4 months (3 times a year). The next LTS release is yet to be decided.


Releases are every 4 months (3 times a year). Plasma .0 tags on Thursday following Frameworks release and release on following Tuesday. Beta tag/release on Thursday 3 weeks before and Repo freeze 5 weeks before. Bugfix tag/releases are on Tuesdays after .0 release in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 after initial.
The first Beta of every release series of Plasma is tagged and released on Thursday following the corresponding [[Schedules/Frameworks|KDE Frameworks]] release (which is usually released on the second saturday of a month). The Repo freeze is 2 weeks before that.
The first version of Plasma (.0) of every release series is tagged three weeks after the Beta and released on the following Tuesday.


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.
Bugfix tags/releases are made on Tuesdays in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5) after each previous release of the same series (e.g. ".1" is released '''one''' week after ".0", ".2" is released '''one''' week after ".1", ".3" is released '''two''' weeks after ".2", ...)
 
This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release or the release of KDE Frameworks or the required Qt version is delayed, this schedule is subject to revision.


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

Revision as of 16:32, 6 November 2018

This page contains the planned release schedule for Plasma 5.

Normal (non-LTS-)releases are planned every 4 months (3 times a year). The next LTS release is yet to be decided.

The first Beta of every release series of Plasma is tagged and released on Thursday following the corresponding KDE Frameworks release (which is usually released on the second saturday of a month). The Repo freeze is 2 weeks before that. The first version of Plasma (.0) of every release series is tagged three weeks after the Beta and released on the following Tuesday.

Bugfix tags/releases are made on Tuesdays in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5) after each previous release of the same series (e.g. ".1" is released one week after ".0", ".2" is released one week after ".1", ".3" is released two weeks after ".2", ...)

This schedule is our best guess at this point, in case the quality is not deemed good enough before the final release or the release of KDE Frameworks or the required Qt version is delayed, this schedule is subject to revision.

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