X-BeenThere: ovs-dev@openvswitch.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: ovs-dev-bounces@openvswitch.org Sender: "dev" The OVN team has had no concrete policy regarding when releases are made for a given version. In the past, new releases have been made only when something critical has been found, meaning that most bug fixes applied to a given OVN version never end up in a release. This change proposes a regular release schedule. The most recent branch and the current LTS will receive releases every two months. Other standard-term support branches still under support will have releases made every three months.
