Review Release numbering Policy in light of dropping Quarterly releases

TC 

This process was approved earlier this year. Now that the project has agreed to move to 3 releases per year the Q nomenclature in the release numbering doesn't make sense. What is the TC's recommendation for new numbering of maintenance releases?

WAS: 

Release Numbering:

• LTS Release numbering: YYYY-MM.S-LTS, where:

  • YYYY = Year

  • MM = Month

  • S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-MM tag

  • LTS = Long Term Support release

• Quarterly Release numbering: YYYY-qN.S, where:

  • YYYY = Year

  • N = Which quarter during the year the release happens (1,2,3,4)

  • S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-qN tag

• Flower names

  • When necessary/helpful flower names can be appended to the release number, i.e. 2020-q3.1 (Honeysuckle)

CHANGE TO:

Release Numbering:

• LTS Release numbering: YYYY-MM.S-LTS, where:

  • YYYY = Year

  • MM = Month

  • S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-MM tag

  • LTS = Long Term Support release

• Maintenance Release numbering: YYYY-N.S, where:

  • YYYY = Year

  • N = The Nth maintenance release that year (1,2,3,4)

  • S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-N tag

• Flower names

  • When necessary/helpful flower names can be appended to the release number, i.e. 2020-q3.1 (Honeysuckle)
