    <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>Regards,</p>
    <p>Anita<br>

            <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

                        <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>
