Release Schedule for 2.3.x

This is a draft release schedule for unstable 2.3.x releases of gnucash, which will eventually lead to the stable 2.4.0 release of gnucash with new features.

Goal

Goals for 2.4.0:

  1. - Provide an SQL backend using SQLite3, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
  2. - Allow GtkHTML report display engine to be replaced by WebKit

Purpose of all 2.3.x releases: Any 2.3.x is not yet stable, but is meant to provide easier access to the current source code for wider testing. Also, at some point in time the 2.3.x series should go into a string freeze so that translators can fully concentrate on their translation work.

Schedule

Proposed Schedule:

Version Date Wiki Purpose
2.3.0 May 16, 2009 Announcement 2.3.0 Initial announcement and call for testers
2.3.1 May 30, 2009 Announcement 2.3.1 Bug fixes
2.3.2 June 14, 2009 Announcement 2.3.2 Bug fixes, string freeze, translation updates
2.3.3 June 2, 2009 Announcement 2.3.3 Critical bug fixes and more translation updates
2.3.4 July 5, 2009 Announcement 2.3.4 Release Candidate One i.e. final bugfixes and final translation updates. We need the next 2 weeks for PR planning
2.3.5 July 19, 2009 Announcement 2.3.5 Release Candidate Two i.e. final bugfixes, final translation updates.
2.4.0 August 3, 2009 Announcement 2.4.0 Keep in mind that the (Unix) source package and the Windows binaries have to be ready by that date. PR planning

Release Schedule for 2.2.x

We don't have an actual schedule yet. We only know we plan for a stable 2.2.x release every 3-6 weeks in order to make available the bugfixes and translation updates.

Release Schedule for 2.1.x

This is a draft release schedule for unstable 2.1.x releases of gnucash, which will eventually lead to the stable 2.2.0 release of gnucash with new features.

Goal

Goal for 2.2.0: Now that the gnome2 port is working well, we are introducing some new features. These are

  •  ?
  • Scheduled Transactions re-work.
  • Port to Windows available

Purpose of all 2.1.x releases: Any 2.1.x is not yet stable, but is meant to provide easier access to the current source code for wider testing. Also, at some point in time the 2.1.x series should go into a string freeze so that translators can fully concentrate on their translation work.

Requirements of 2.1.x releases

Caveats

Caveats for testers:

  • Any 2.1.x version might crash unexpectedly at any point during runtime. If you test some serious work in a 2.1.x release, make sure you hit "Save" after ever non-trivial workstep.
  • The documentation has had screenshots updated, however, most help texts usually only refers to the 2.0.x or even 1.8.x series. Everyone is invited to help improve the documentation; see Development on how to get involved.
