[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Add 4.2 Milestone 3
Hi devs, One of the main goals of 4.2 release was to be able to upgrade an XWiki farm in a few minutes. Thomas has started working on this and I need to improve the UI which is currently very minimal. We are pretty late overall and one way to still have this in 4.2 is to postpone the final release by adding a third milestone. The current planning is: * 4.2M2: 6 Aug 2012 (Today!) * 4.2RC1: 20 Aug 2012 * 4.2Final: 27 Aug 2012 With a third milestone we could have this: * 4.2M2: 6 Aug 2012 (Today!) * 4.2M3: 27 Aug 2012 * 4.2RC1: 10 Sep 2012 * 4.2Final: 17 Sep 2012 However, doing this means we're going to miss the unofficial "1 cycle per year rule" (we were already over 1 year at the current rate but it's going to be worse with this) which means we would need from now on to have shorter release cycle for the 4.x cycle: * 4.3: October (2 months) * 4.4: December (1 month) * 4.5: January (1 month) In any case the 4.4 and 4.5 release are supposed to be cycle stabilization releases so it's not a bad thing. We just need to agree we're not going to put any more big stuff in the 4.x cycle. One thing we would still need to put in is a new skin which must go in 4.3 (would be too late afterwards). I'm +1. Thanks, Marius P.S.: This is actually Vincent's proposal, but I'm sending the vote myself because he's on holiday.

However, doing this means we're going to miss the unofficial "1 cycle per year rule" (we were already over 1 year at the current rate but it's going to be worse with this) which means we would need from now on to have shorter release cycle for the 4.x cycle:
* 4.3: October (2 months) * 4.4: December (1 month) * 4.5: January (1 month)
In any case the 4.4 and 4.5 release are supposed to be cycle stabilization releases so it's not a bad thing.
