Re: [libvirt] Upcoming 0.6.2 release

Our release schedule has become a little too variable in timeframe and quality in recent times. We've tended to get into a situation where we've had some very large new features going in very late before release with little time for actually testing them between commit & release. It is unrealistic to expect pre-commit reviews to catch all problems, so I think it might be worth us setting out a very slightly more formal rule for commit/release schedule. I'd like to suggest: - Monthly releases aiming for 1st of the month (plus/minus 3 days to take into account weekends/holidays) - Any non-trivial new feature for release must be reviewed, approved and committed at least 1 week before the release. eg by 24th of each month This will give people using libvirt CVS some time to sanity check new features aren't causing serious regressions / crashes before we release.
