THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Based on discussions by Antonio and others in July 2018 on this thread:
...the proposal is to have a NetBeans release 4 times per year, starting with August 2018:
2018
- August 2018: Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 – released (end of July)
- November 2018: proposal – https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/98e604268738d3f10f8dfae48d662fe468e8cdf847395ef5b3614dc4@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E
- Rough schedule proposal:
- September
- To be included in the release:
- Feature: JDK 11 (P1)
- PHP (P1)
- JavaScript (P2)
- Java EE (P3)
- Translation bundles from 3rd donation, if it makes it in in time
- Feature freeze: September 24
- To be included in the release:
- October 1
- create vote candidate 1 (because each vote candidate is about two weeks)
- include testing, e.g., NetCAT, on JDK 11 (to be released 25 September)
- focus on producing the release throughout October.
- November 1
- release of sources and convenience binary (P1)
- site updates (P1)
- installers (P3), also the question is how to distribute installers, since from Apache we distribute sources and convenience binary only
- Note: a November release does not necessarily mean releasing 1 November, so we have 4 weeks here to play with
- September
- Rough schedule proposal:
2019

- Tentative: Depending on how far we get, we can release the integration of some/all of the other features of the 2nd donation, i.e., Groovy, JavaScript, Java/Jakarta EE
