I am currently working on several features potentially targeting 7.1 and such information will be a great help to organize my work. Even an estimate of 'probably not before x months/years' will be useful.

Even an estimate of 'probably not before x months/years' will be useful. In theory December 3. 2016. As it is well defined in the release process rfc. --- ## #89636 — Lior Kaplan — 2015-12-05T13:26:17+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/89634#89636 · In reply to: #89634 A year is the general time frame. 5.6 was August 2014. But don't forget you need to aim for 9 months due to feature freeze and such. Thanks for contributing.

Like for example in March or April, when we'll already some features and improvements into 7.1. There's no point in deciding about a release without having any vague idea what it's going to be about. Usually next (minor) releases are be 10-14 months after the next one. It doesn't really matter when you work on something… if it won't make it into 7.1, it'll be in 7.2. That's what nice here, you can contribute whenever you want ;-) Bob P.s.: but I guess you can safely assume there won't be any release in the next 6 months. --- ## #89639 — Scott Arciszewski — 2015-12-05T19:04:27+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/89634#89639 · In reply to: #89637 > > […] > timeline (or just a rough estimate of a release date) for 7.1, or will it > be decided later, depending on proposed RFCs ? > > […] > such information will be a great help to organize my work.
