There will be a code freeze (stop merging +non-essential changes) up to 3 weeks prior to the target release date. The +release candidates will start appearing after this and only bug fixes or +updates required for the release will be merged. The maintainers are free +to use their judgement on what changes are essential for the release. + +The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on +issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues. + +:: + + |<------------4 months----------->| + |<--upto 3 weeks-->| |<--upto 3 weeks-->| + +----------------------------------------------------- ----------> time + | | | | + code freeze ver w.x code freeze ver y.z + +Although this document specifies the release cadence, this does not preclude +an adhoc release for specific project requirements. + +-------------- + +*Copyright (c) 2020, Arm Limited.
