Hello dev-platform and firefox-dev, We are delaying the release of Firefox 46 for a week.
Short version: For the Firefox 46 cycle, merge day is now April 25. Release is April 26. The 47 release schedule hasn't changed; release still planned for June 7. Here are some details: During the 46 beta cycle various issues delayed or prevented several beta releases. In order to get better crash data and to be able to respond to crashes reported this week in beta 7, 8, and 9, we are going to delay shipping Firefox 46 by one week. We plan to ship beta 9 this Thursday, and beta 10 and 11 next week. This also will allow for more l10n changes to land. Firefox 46 and the corresponding ESR versions are now planned for release on April 26. The beta cycle for Firefox 47 was planned to be seven weeks, releasing on June 7. We will shorten that cycle to six weeks. The release date for Firefox 47 will still be June 7th. Therefore, we don't need to adjust the calendar for the rest of the year. We're just "stealing" a week from beta 47 and using it to extend beta 46. The merge dates will also move a week, which means we have an extra week for Nightly 48 and Aurora 47 before the merge on April 25. You can see the release schedule from our public calendars linked from here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management One calendar has just the merge and release dates. The other calendar has more details and is mostly used by release managers and release engineers. Hope this is clear. Please ask if you have any questions - email is fine, or on irc you can find me as lizzard on #relman or #release-drivers. Best, Liz -- ---- Liz Henry (:lizzard) Firefox Release Manager lhe...@mozilla.com _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
