Focus for iOS will be moving to a bi-weekly cadence, so our releases will be schedule driven rather than dictated by feature development progress.  Both features and fixes will be allocated to the next available release upon completion. This will give us the ability to respond much more quickly to bug reports and user feedback.

While the release cadence will remain the same, the release numbering in this schedule is subject to change, as whether a release is classified as an X.0 depends on the significance of the features/enhancements being shipped.

As a further benefit, the process will be simpler and more predictable for the multiple teams involved, as all key milestones will recur on a bi-weekly basis as well. Also, the volume of work to test, translate, review etc... will be smaller for each release, allowing us to move much more quickly.

Background

Focus for iOS will be following a bi-weekly sprint cadence, so our releases will be schedule driven rather than dictated by feature development progress. This will give us the ability to respond much more quickly to bug reports and user feedback. Minor releases may be pushed at the end of any sprint as bug fixes and minor changes necessitate, while major releases are targeted following every 3rd sprint.
