[GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.90x Beta Schedule

[John Ralls]

I trust that everyone noticed that we released the first 3.90x test release this evening. We're aiming to release 4.0 on 28 June and there will be a final 3.11 release of the 3.x branch at the same time. We don't want to risk blowing anything up in that last release, so please commit to maint only bug fixes that are straightforward and fix serious bugs. Everything else should go to master.

We'll have another test release at the end of May and impose feature freeze at that time, meaning that you have 5 weeks to finish up anything substantial and get it merged. June should be spent focussing on fixing any bugs reported against the new work and important fixes that don't involve major surgery. We'll do weekly releases through June to give testers plenty of opportunities to keep up with our progress.

One other date of note is string freeze on 14 June. No changes to translated strings between 14 June and 28 June to give translators a chance to give us the best possible translations--but be nice to them and try really hard to keep a lid on new strings from now on.

Any changes to the plan will go on the release schedule at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule.

John Ralls
