Features that have not shipped in a release yet can still be marginally tweaked if deemed desirable. <p> <b>Do not use release candidates in production</b>. They are work in progress. Use them for testing and verification only. Use actual releases in production. <p> Releases candidates are ephemeral. They are provided only for a few weeks until they are automatically removed. The coming release is scheduled to happen on <b>2025-05-28</b>. <h2> Release candidates </h2> <div style="font-size: 140%;"> <p>There are no available release candidates for the moment. </div> <h2> Contents </h2> <p> Each release candidate is provided in four different file formats. They all have the exact same content. <p> <b>docs/RELEASE-TOOLS.md</b> in the tarball shows the tooling needed to reproduce it. <h2> Release cycle </h2> <p> The idea is to provide three release candidates before every release, distributed as displayed in the image below. <p> <ul> <li> rc1 comes the day the feature release starts, 25 days before release <li> rc2 comes nine days after rc1, 16 days before release <li> rc3 comes nine days after rc2, 7 days before release </ul> <p> <img src="rc.png" width="100%"> <p> Updated: <b> 2025-04-03 09:51 UTC </b> </div> </div> </body> </html>
