Goals for 2.8.0:
−
* Improved small business functions with many small new features for everyday use: New interactive customer / vendor overview; support for credit notes; several new reports; export to PDF
+
* Rewrite engine to remove dependencies on GLib.
−
* New reports available in stable versions
+
* Migrate from QofQuery to SQL Query
−
* Code cleanup: migrate deprecated dependencies to supported alternatives: libglade to gtkbuilder, GktClist->GtkCombo,...
+
* Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends

Purpose of all 2.5.x releases: Any 2.5.x is not yet stable, but is meant to provide easier access to the current source code for wider testing. Also, as of 2013-11-18 the 2.5.x series is in string freeze so that translators can fully concentrate on their translation work.

=== Feature Checklist for 2.6.0 ===
 
−
In order to reach the stable release 2.6.0, we need to list the features which are new in trunk and decide whether they are stable enough for 2.6.0. If they are not, they will be disabled for 2.6.0. Please link to bugzilla items where applicable.

It's a bit premature to lay out a 2.7.x release schedule, but assuming the same 3 year cycle as we had for 2.6, 2.7.0 will be released in the late spring of 2017.

We don't have an actual schedule. We only know we plan for a stable 2.4.x release every 12-16 weeks in order to make available the bugfixes and translation updates.

Release Schedule for 2.7.x releases

Goal

Goals for 2.8.0:

  • Rewrite engine to remove dependencies on GLib.
  • Migrate from QofQuery to SQL Query
  • Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends

Schedule

It's a bit premature to lay out a 2.7.x release schedule, but assuming the same 3 year cycle as we had for 2.6, 2.7.0 will be released in the late spring of 2017.


Release Schedule for 2.6.x releases

We will do monthly releases for three months to mop up all of the early bugs and then release about every 6 months unless a major bug is reported that demands a release as soon as it is fixed.
