Change approval process

Changes to the release branch require approval. The approval has two parts:

...

  • Trunk open to Alpha: Developers work at their own discretion
  • Alpha to Beta: Major features, improvements, or refactorings need discussion before they can go in; bug fixes are unencumbered
  • Beta to RC: Bug fixes only; exceptions are sometimes made for improvements that are important, isolated, and small in terms of code delta

  • After RC: Bug fixes for important defects only, such as build failures, regressions, or security vulnerabilities

Schedule

Alpha: 21 July 2014 16 July 2014

  • Major feature integration ends; with approval, certain less disruptive features can be committed
  • Trunk remains open for bug fixing
  • The alpha release tests the release process after the introduction of major features


Beta: 12 August 2014 30 July 2014, 2 weeks later

  • The release branch is created
  • Release branch commits require approval
  • Release manager produces outstanding bug report
  • Trunk opens for development toward the next release
  • Preliminary release notes and documentation are available for review

Beta 2: 27 August 2014, 2 weeks later


RC: 10 September 2014, 2 weeks later 13 August 2014, 2 weeks later
