| Release Cycle
 | |
| =============
 | |
| 
 | |
| The U-Boot projects attempts to maintain a fixed, predictable Release
 | |
| Cycle as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * We will have U-Boot releases at a fixed release interval of (approximately)
 | |
|   every 3 months.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Under normal conditions the release date will be the first Monday of the month.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Immediately following each release, there will be a "merge window" of
 | |
|   normally 21 days, i. e. if the release was on a Monday, then the merge window
 | |
|   will close on the Monday in the 3rd week after the release.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   While this merge window is open, new features can be added to the U-Boot
 | |
|   source tree. This is further expanded on in the :doc:`process`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * After the merge window closes, no new features may be added to allow for a
 | |
|   release candidate phase which is intended to fix bugs and regressions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| *Note:* While we try to adhere to the release schedule, we will
 | |
| not hesitate and take the liberty to delay a release if there are
 | |
| good reasons, for example if there are known bugs or other technical
 | |
| reasons.  The code will be released when it is considered ready
 | |
| without caring too much about the announced deadline.
 | |
| 
 | |
| *Note 2:* Even though we follow Linux ways in many respects, there are
 | |
| differences in the actual procedures, which are documented in the
 | |
| :doc:`process`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version Numbers
 | |
| ---------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were
 | |
| changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning into a time stamp
 | |
| based numbering.  Regular releases are now identified by names consisting of
 | |
| the calendar year and month of the release date.  Additional fields are
 | |
| frequently used to denote the release candidates.  They are also used on rare
 | |
| occasions to note a bug fix release on top of the previous stable release.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Examples::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   U-Boot v2009.11	- Release November 2009
 | |
|   U-Boot v2009.11.1	- Bug fix release 1 on top of the November 2009 release
 | |
|   U-Boot v2010.09-rc1   - Release candidate 1 for September 2010 release
 | |
| 
 | |
