The exact date of true EOL is 11 Jul 2014, right? // Kenji --- ## #68110 — johannes@schlueters.de — 2013-07-12T00:47:34+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/68108#68110 · In reply to: #68109 > On Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:45:02 +0200 > Johannes Schlüter wrote: > > > […] > > The exact date of true EOL is 11 Jul 2014, right? I don't have an exact date. The voted RFC states "1 year after 5.5 release", which would mean June 20th, now this release, 5.3.27, was a tiny bit delayed. So I'd look at July 3rd or 10th (Thursday is our "traditional" release day) But mind: If there is an critical issue reported on July 12 and we need time to fix it, and maybe a RC cycle, we might end up having a release somewhere end July, maybe even August. But on the other hand: Let's hope there is no critical issue and this all is theory. :) johannes --- ## #68111 — Kenji Suzuki — 2013-07-12T00:58:03+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/68108#68111 · In reply to: #68110 On Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:47:34 +0200 Johannes Schlüter wrote: > > > […] > > I don't have an exact date.
