Schedule

This page documents the current state of the JOSM release cycle. It might be outdated, check "next event" to be sure.

The JOSM project has a very pragmatic development model, see Releases for details. Basically we are alternating between two states as described below.

Current State

	Free to modify
X	Stabilization

Free to modify

This phase is for normal development. No special restrictions, but be aware, that the nightly builds are used by a lot of people. We usually get overwhelmed with bug reports when josm-latest is seriously broken.

Stabilization

Feature freeze, string freeze, focus on bug fixing. Sometimes minor changes are okay (especially when there is some time left till the release), but try to avoid introducing new bugs. Stabilization phase can exceed the release date by a couple of days.

Usually a release is planned at the end of each month (the weekend nearest to this date).

Creating a release currently simply means getting a latest version which has most of translations done and has no serious bugs. This is then marked as release a bit later.
