Hi, currently the 5.6 release schedule is not in sync with 5.4 and 5.5 which is a bit inconvenient (it is easier to sync between the RMs if they are targetting the same dates with their release, etc.) plus if we keep that way, it will be a huge PITA when we have to do co-ordinated release containing security fixes. To resolve this we (Stas, Julien and myself) decided to sync the upcoming releases for the next version, and as 5.4 and 5.5 are already on the same schedule, the decision was to try to match that with 5.6. 5.4.34 and 5.5.18 are expected to be released in about two weeks, so here is the plan:
- if we have security fixes ready for the next release, 5.6.2 will be released along with 5.4.34 and 5.5.18 containing nothing but 5.6.1 plus the security fixes and we will follow the same schedule onwards. - if there are be no security fixes we obviously won't make an identical release to 5.6.1, so then 5.6.2 will follow the release schedule for 5.4.35 and 5.5.19 and we will follow the same schedule onwards. sorry for the inconvenience and the possible confusion, but after this sync it will be easier for everybody to follow the schedule as there will be only one schedule to keep in mind! -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
