1 | Release Cycle |
| 2 | ============= | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | The U-Boot projects attempts to maintain a fixed, predictable Release | |
| 5 | Cycle as follows: | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | * We will have U-Boot releases at a fixed release interval of (approximately) | |
| 8 | every 3 months. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | * Under normal conditions the release date will be the first Monday of the month. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | * Immediately following each release, there will be a "merge window" of | |
| 13 | normally 21 days, i. e. if the release was on a Monday, then the merge window | |
| 14 | will close on the Monday in the 3rd week after the release. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | While this merge window is open, new features can be added to the U-Boot | |
| 17 | source tree. This is further expanded on in the :doc:`process`. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | * After the merge window closes, no new features may be added to allow for a | |
| 20 | release candidate phase which is intended to fix bugs and regressions. | |
| 21 | ||
| 9fa8ba1e TR |
22 | * To help with late pull requests, the **next** branch will open when the |
| 23 | second release candidate is published. | |
| 24 | ||
| 6b484ba6 TR |
25 | *Note:* While we try to adhere to the release schedule, we will |
| 26 | not hesitate and take the liberty to delay a release if there are | |
| 27 | good reasons, for example if there are known bugs or other technical | |
| 28 | reasons. The code will be released when it is considered ready | |
| 29 | without caring too much about the announced deadline. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | *Note 2:* Even though we follow Linux ways in many respects, there are | |
| 32 | differences in the actual procedures, which are documented in the | |
| 33 | :doc:`process`. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Version Numbers | |
| 36 | --------------- | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were | |
| 39 | changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning into a time stamp | |
| 40 | based numbering. Regular releases are now identified by names consisting of | |
| 41 | the calendar year and month of the release date. Additional fields are | |
| 42 | frequently used to denote the release candidates. They are also used on rare | |
| 43 | occasions to note a bug fix release on top of the previous stable release. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Examples:: | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 | |
| 48 | U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Bug fix release 1 on top of the November 2009 release | |
| 49 | U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candidate 1 for September 2010 release | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Current Status | |
| 52 | -------------- | |
| 53 | ||
| 3f772959 | 54 | * U-Boot v2024.07 was released on Mon 01 July 2024. |
| 6b484ba6 | 55 | |
| 123f6f75 | 56 | * The Merge Window for the next release (v2024.10) is **closed**. |
| 6b484ba6 | 57 | |
| 6f4c31c2 | 58 | * The next branch is now **open**. |
| faac9dee | 59 | |
