Updated Apache NetBeans release schedule
Hi all,
Based on the lazy consensus vote re the upcoming releases:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r08e565beb4027d75cf21cd5385e16001d21b778af2113ed7d7b0de4a%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E
...I've made an attempt to update the externally facing release schedule
page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Release+Schedule
It's a bit less clear than it used to be, i.e., the columns are now not
based on release but based on the annual cycle, each containing 4 releases.
We haven't nailed down the meaning of "LTS" yet, hence the above is more
correct than the page was previously, but it probably is still not how
we'll finally have it.
Comments welcome,
Gj

As mentioned off-list, we've somewhat overlapped at looking at this.
What I was going to do here, so we're not having an edit war! :-)
From what was decided around the coming year, I'd suggest -
* Let's either just use years instead of cycles at the top and move
the rows around so January is at top (NB 13 doesn't fit in this format
anyway), or at least use 2020-21, 2021-22, etc.
* We need to remove NetCAT references entirely for now. It's not
happening when it says, and it's still in the air how it might
function, but it's certainly unlikely to match those dates. We should
possibly do an email to netcat@ along those lines too?
* LTS on 13 certainly deserves a question mark, and I think we need to
refer to the current changes at the top, make clear LTS in principle
is being reviewed.
* But most importantly (DON'T PANIC everyone! :-) ) - feature freeze
for 12.4 is definitely not next week - it will be mid-April. 1 month
like normal. Release still end of May.
Best wishes,
Neil
