Releases

This is a page for tracking in-progress releases. For maintenance releases, we use a general checklist to ensure we don't miss anything.

• perhaps you'd like to see who release drivers for various releases are?
• or perhaps you'd like to learn more about the priority rankings we assign to releases?
• you might even wonder how we use flags to manage our releases?
• or what branches exist and when they branched?
• perchance you're confused about update terminology?
• maybe you'd like to know about our various branch support levels?
• perhaps you want to see the RapidRelease Calendar for future aurora merges, beta merges, and releases?
• maybe you are interested in checking the Feature Release Tracker for upcoming features?

Upcoming Releases

Please do not edit scheduled dates if you are not a release driver.

Note: the Beta, Aurora and Nightly dates are code merge dates, not release dates.
