[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 7.8.0 with Python3 support

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

the world is eagerly waiting to see the first GRASS GIS 7.8.0 with
Python3 support. In my view we need to focus on that and release
early.

I have drafted a roadmap [1]:

- Proposal of release: 7 Jan 2019
- Creation of release branch: 24 Jan 2019
- RC1: 1 Feb 2019
- RC2: 7 Feb 2019 - if needed
- Final release: ~14 Feb 2019

This may appear close but we have no other choice than publishing 7.8.0 asap.

Essential is the creation of the required release branch. Naturally as
much as possible needs to be tested _before_ that, please see

Any comments?

Markus
