Release plan for v4 / v6 until April 2017 #159
Description
We are planning monthly releases on the first Tuesday of every month for v4 and v6, and a single v0.12 release in the first week of December. Currently our only planned Semver-Minor release if v4.7.0 on December 6th, but it is possible that one of the patch releases on v4 or v6 could be a minor release if deemed necessary by the LTS Working Group. These dates are also subject to change based on the need for security releases.
February 21st
Release of v4.8.0 and v6.10.0
March 21st
Release of v4.8.1 and v6.10.1

Please let me know if you have problems with the dates above. I would also be interested if individuals think the information above could be presented in a clearer fashion. I'm also interested if individuals think that the above information should be present in the repo's readme.

Can it be visualised on the current (most used?) LTS visualisation from Nodesource?
rvagg commentedon Nov 19, 2016
@AdriVanHoudt that might give the impression that these dates are more concrete than they are, there's a bunch of factors that could easily change these plans, most notably security releases which could change version numbers and bump dates if they are too close.

@rvagg good point, it was just my initial thought on
could be presented in a clearer fashionbut you are right if they are not final it probably just a case of where to put the infoMylesBorins commentedon Dec 7, 2016

In that case, I find the formatting of the dates in the original issue comment to be readable, and this issue to be sufficient; with the caveat that it would be helpful if the issue's original comment is kept up-to-date (so that I do not need to parse the entire thread to grasp the current state of your release plans).

@MylesBorins Maybe update the first comment to take into account the point releases made earlier today?

@richardlau good call!

@MylesBorins should we be adding the schedule for the next 2 releases as well ? Possibly:
April 24th
Release of v4.9 (as Quarterly semver minor starting off Maintenance phase) and v6.11
May 23rd
Release v6.11.1
MylesBorins commentedon Mar 14, 2017
@mhdawson based on the schedule v4 is moving to maintenance mode as of April 1st. We just did a semver minor last month, so I think it is a bit soon to do the minor for v6.
I'll put together a new issue for our Q2 release schedule next week
