<p>That's right. <br>
</p>
<p>> .0, .1, .2 and .3 are monthly releases as usual. the
quarterly cycle would kick in after that.</p>
<p>Yes, that's how I also understood it.</p>
<p>> if we can release extra versions in case of a severe issues</p>
<p>Yes, nothing changes with regards to our ability to push extra
releases when considered necessary.</p>

<p>Right,</p>
<p>If we treat the new LTR release like a "regular" release
in the beginning, with monthly updates, my concerns are
void. Also, if we can release extra versions in case of a
severe issues, like Nyall suggested.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Dear PSC colleagues and core devs,</p>
<p>We have discussed to reduce the update
frequency of the LTR release at the last
meeting. I think everybody sort of agreed to
reduce the nr of releases in the light of
starting manual testing prior to release.</p>
<p>Marco announced that on a mail to the QGIS
users mailing list: <a
href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2021-November/050232.html"
rel="noopener noreferrer noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2021-November/050232.html</a></p>
<p>BUT: i don't remember that we came to a final
decision/conclusion on how often to really
release. I have doubts that the fixed
quarterly releases are a good idea, because of
the following:</p>
<p>- in the first few months of the lifetime of
an LTR there are typically way more issues
discovered than later. I think that the
beginning of an LTR we need a denser release
schedule than just quarterly</p>
<p>- we have a quarantine rule that backports
that go into the regular release can only go
into the LTR release after one month of
quarantine in the regular release. This can
further delay important backports in the light
of only releasing LTR updates quarterly.</p>
<p>I would like to discuss whether we could have
some schedule that starts a bit denser at the
beginning and then thins out later in the
lifetime of an LTR.</p>
<p>E.g. something like:</p>
<p>LTR-Release:and releases 1, 2, 4,6,9,12
months after the release.</p>
<p>I know this is a bit more complicated to
handle, but I believe it ŵould be more useful
for the users.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
