Release Timeline

The calendar week (CW) numbers in this document get updated before the next release cycle starts. Get the current CW with date +%V. During the release cycle we try to follow this plan closely, but it can happen that we run over the planned CWs.

Pre-Build

CW 21 (2026-05-18 - 2026-05-24)

Release branches are not yet in feature freeze, but we should avoid making major changes to main.

Team:

  • Create the infrastructure issue (which has more detailed tasks for the team for each phase, the document here just gives a rough overview).
  • Create the release branch in pmaports.
  • Start building of binary packages early, so we can get through it for sure.

Branch

CW 22 (2026-05-25 - 2026-05-31), CW 23 (2026-06-01 - 2026-06-07)

The release branch is in feature freeze:

We can cherry pick fixes where it makes sense, but can't add features to the release branch anymore (exceptions can be made if there is a good reason).

Team:

  • Rebase the release branch on main once
  • Build binary packages and images (configure BPO for that)

Test

CW 24 (2026-06-08 - 2026-06-14)

Maintainers:

  • Test your devices and UIs (test yourself if you can and/or coordinate with the Testing Team)
  • Report back in the issue (template for devices)
  • Fix stuff that is broken by creating MRs against pmaports main and assigning the backport-to-YY.MM label

Release

CW 25 (2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21)

Team:

  • Write the release blog post.

Team + Maintainers:

  • Celebrate with party hats and get wasted.
