Koha 18.05 released in march ? (Joubu)
Hi Koha-devel & mainly Jonathan, On your RM proposal (https://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Proposal_for_RM_18.05_joub...) , you write: * Koha 18.05 will be released *end of March*, if it is considered stable enough for release I've nothing against this, but is there a reason to release in March and not in May as usual ? In this case, shouldn't we call it 18.03 ? Or will it be a 18.05RC, and the final 18.05.00 will still be in May ? Anyway: explanation welcomed ;) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries
Hi Paul, It's a typo, 18.05 will be released in May of course. Thanks for catching it. Jonathan On Sat, 4 Nov 2017 at 07:40 Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:

Putting on a "philosophical hat", might it be clearer to users/developers and/or other interested users -- and as a consequence assist Jonathan with his sign-off and QA responsibilities -- to use the term "beta release"? Paul P. hints at this with the suffix "RC" which can (Wikipedia) be defined as "beta version with potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bugs." I recognize that the old (1950s?) IBM use of the terms "alpha" and "beta" have changed over the years, but the practicalities, clarity and advantages are well known to many or most of us. I do not remember this being discussed re: Koha, but could have missed something. Warmest regards all round, Paul
