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

== Release Series ==
=== Current plans ===
Releases of new versions are planned every 4 months (3 times a year). See ''Future releases'' for more details. "Normal" releases will stop receiving bugfixes as soon as the following release is available. The exception to this rule are LTS releases:


The following table shows the '''currently supported release series'''' as well as the next planned release series.
=== LTS releases ===
The current LTS release is '''Plasma 5.18'''. Following 5.18 LTS, our next Plasma 5 LTS will likely be at the same time as the first Plasma 6 release, no date has been set yet.
 
LTS releases receive updates for at least 1.5 years and might receive additional security bugfixes after that.
 
== Stages of releases ==
=== Beta version ===
Plasma currently only ships one Beta before every release.
 
The 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.
 
=== Final version ===
The first version of Plasma (.0) of every release series is tagged three weeks after the Beta (also on Thursday) and released on the following Tuesday.
 
=== Bugfix versions ===
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:

Revision as of 11:38, 13 October 2020

General

Purpose

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 or if the release of KDE Frameworks or the required Qt version is delayed, this schedule is subject to revision, especially in the case of important bugfixes or security issues.

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

Release mangler: Jonathan Riddell, Riddell in #plasma on Freenode

Current plans

Releases of new versions are planned every 4 months (3 times a year). See Future releases for more details. "Normal" releases will stop receiving bugfixes as soon as the following release is available. The exception to this rule are LTS releases:

LTS releases

The current LTS release is Plasma 5.18. Following 5.18 LTS, our next Plasma 5 LTS will likely be at the same time as the first Plasma 6 release, no date has been set yet.

LTS releases receive updates for at least 1.5 years and might receive additional security bugfixes after that.

Stages of releases

Beta version

Plasma currently only ships one Beta before every release.

The 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.

Final version

The first version of Plasma (.0) of every release series is tagged three weeks after the Beta (also on Thursday) and released on the following Tuesday.

Bugfix versions

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:

Version Weeks after previous version
.1 1 week after .0
.2 1 week after .1
.3 2 weeks after .2
.4 3 weeks after .3
.5 5 weeks after .4
.6 (LTS-only) 8 weeks after .5
.7 (LTS-only) 13 weeks after .6
etc.

Support status by Release Series

The following table shows the currently supported as well as the next planned release series'.

Release Series Dependencies Support Status
5.12 LTS Qt 5.9, KDE Frameworks 5.42 Currently Supported (former LTS). Releases made as required in cases of important bugfixes or security issues
5.18 LTS Qt 5.12 and 5.13, KDE Frameworks 5.66 Currently supported (LTS). Will receive updates for about 1.5 years.
5.20 Qt 5.15, KDE Frameworks 5.74 Currently supported. Support will continue until Plasma 5.21 is released.
