QGIS PSC List <<a href="mailto:qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org</a>>, QGIS Developer <<a

[1] and my proposal there [2], at yesterday's PSC meeting we prepared an updated release and communication plan.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We think that adding release candidates would benefit the project a lot since we would not be shipping code that has not been tested at large and we would have a simple way to tell people that we're getting a new version ready and it is now time to test it heavily.<br></div><div><br></div><div>QGIS has clearly grown a lot in the years and has become indispensable for many users this is why we think we should do everything in our power to deliver the best possible product.</div><div>With the addition of the release candidates in our regular release plan, we want to take a further step in this direction and underpin the great testing efforts driven by the community.</div><div><br></div><div>Unless strong objections are risen here, the new release plan beginning with 3.20 will look like this:</div><div><br>Release plan:</div><div><ul><li>.0 packages will be called “release candidate” allowing us to improve expectation management and collect user feedback</li><li>during the .0 release candidate period, the release is first branched and master un-frozen to allow the next cycle development to start</li><li>The splash screen will include “release candidate” </li><li>.1 would be the first “proper” release</li></ul></div><div><br>Communication schedule:<br><ul><li>.0 release → social media posts</li><li>.0 packages ready → “release candidate” blog post including visual changelog and call for testing and social media posts</li><li>.1 packages ready → “release” blog post and social media posts</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>Example with 3.20</div><div><span
