Release Cycle
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The U-Boot projects attempts to maintain a fixed, predictable Release
|
|
Cycle as follows:
|
|
|
|
* We will have U-Boot releases at a fixed release interval of (approximately)
|
|
every 3 months.
|
|
|
|
* Under normal conditions the release date will be the first Monday of the month.
|
|
|
|
* Immediately following each release, there will be a "merge window" of
|
|
normally 21 days, i. e. if the release was on a Monday, then the merge window
|
|
will close on the Monday in the 3rd week after the release.
|
|
|
|
While this merge window is open, new features can be added to the U-Boot
|
|
source tree. This is further expanded on in the :doc:`process`.
|
|
|
|
* After the merge window closes, no new features may be added to allow for a
|
|
release candidate phase which is intended to fix bugs and regressions.
|
|
|
|
*Note:* While we try to adhere to the release schedule, we will
|
|
not hesitate and take the liberty to delay a release if there are
|
|
good reasons, for example if there are known bugs or other technical
|
|
reasons. The code will be released when it is considered ready
|
|
without caring too much about the announced deadline.
|
|
|
|
*Note 2:* Even though we follow Linux ways in many respects, there are
|
|
differences in the actual procedures, which are documented in the
|
|
:doc:`process`.
|
|
|
|
Version Numbers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were
|
|
changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning into a time stamp
|
|
based numbering. Regular releases are now identified by names consisting of
|
|
the calendar year and month of the release date. Additional fields are
|
|
frequently used to denote the release candidates. They are also used on rare
|
|
occasions to note a bug fix release on top of the previous stable release.
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009
|
|
U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Bug fix release 1 on top of the November 2009 release
|
|
U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candidate 1 for September 2010 release
|
|
|
|
