Hi,
I'll be the release manager for Tails 2.2, which is a major release
scheduled for 2016-03-08. Note that there will be no Tails 2.1; for the
curious I suggest reading up on our versioning scheme:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_schedule/#index4h1
The list of tickets targeting Tails 2.2 can be found here:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=191
182 tickets! And there are still ~70 tickets targeting 2.0, so the
number is even higher. Please see my other email with subject "Post-2.0
Readmine follow-ups"!
Without further ado, here's the preliminary release schedule for Tails 2.2:
* 2016-02-24:
- Feature Freeze: All feature branches targeting Tails 2.2 should
be merged into the `devel` branch by noon, CET. I'm open to make
exceptions if you can be online and responsive during that
afternoon, but ask me first!
- Build and upload Tails 2.2~rc1.
- Start testing Tails 2.2~rc1 during late CET if building the image
went smoothly.
* 2016-02-25:
- Finish testing Tails 2.2~rc1 by the afternoon, CET.
- Release Tails 2.2~rc1.
* 2016-03-07:
- All branches targeting Tails 2.2 *must* be merged into the `testing`
branch by noon, CET.
- The upcoming Tor Browser is hopefully out so we can import it.
- Build and upload Tails 2.2 ISO image and IUKs.
- Hopefully start testing Tails 2.2.
* 2016-03-08:
- Finish testing Tails 2.2 by the afternoon, CET.
