[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 7.2.2

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

GRASS 7.2.1 has been released on 3rd May 2017, so time to plan the
next release, i.e. 7.2.2. Currently 7.2.2 release is planned in July
[1]. It would mean, following RFC4 [2] using [3]:

2017-07-05 - soft freeze (only bugfixes)
2017-08-04 - hard freeze + RC1
2017-08-14 - RC2
2017-08-29 - final

It would be nice also to solve waiting backports [4] till 2017-07-05
or also at the FOSS4G-E code sprint.

Opinions?

Markus
