From the Calendar Weblog:

“We are currently planning to release a first release candidate at the beginning of April and release Sunbird 0.5 and Lightning 0.5 during the first half April.” Here’s the planned release schedule:

  • March 12 - string freeze – l10n begins
  • March 24 - code freeze (Except blockers)
  • March 26 – functional testing by #calendar-qa, localizers check their work using nightlies
  • March 30 – l10n freeze
  • April 02 – first RC
  • April 08 – release date or second RC, in case RC 1 was not good enough
  • April 14 – release date, in case we need an RC 2

Note: Italics denote elapsed events.

Latest as of 1st April 2007:

Matthew Willis goes, “Folks, We’re continuing our march towards the 0.5 release. We’re a little behind the previously posted schedule, as we’ve still got some blockers left to resolve. However, we’re still in a code and string freeze state, except for the remaining blockers. Any checkins unrelated to those blockers need to be approved by myself or mvl before landing.

Once we have these last few bugs squashed, we’ll post an updated schedule for performing fully functional tests (FFTs) and for testing release candidates (RCs). Thank you for your continued patience, support, testing and bug reporting. With your help 0.5 can be our most solid release yet.”
