> -----------------------------------------------------------------
> --- Release Management ------------------------------------------
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> The Asterisk.org development team has decided on a new release
> management style for Asterisk 1.6.  Previously, a release series was
> strictly feature frozen for its entire lifetime.  The release  
> management
> guidelines for Asterisk 1.6 were inspired by the Linux Kernel, among a
> number of other projects.
>
> Asterisk 1.6 is not feature frozen.  Features will be added in point
> releases.  However, effort will be made to ensure that the number of
> large changes is minimized in a single point release.  Even as 1.6.0  
> is
> being released, the Asterisk development team is already working on  
> what
> new things will be in 1.6.1 and beyond.  To take a look ahead to see
> what features have been added for releases that have not yet been  
> made,
> take a look at the trunk version of the CHANGES file:
>
> http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/trunk/CHANGES?view=markup
>
> Even though new features will be added in point releases of Asterisk
> 1.6, that does not mean that any deprecated functionality will be
> removed as has been done between major releases in the past.  In fact,
> we have decided that maintaining backwards compatibility is of the
> utmost importance for configuration and external interfaces.  C API  
> and
> ABI compatibility is not guaranteed between point releases.  However,
> things like dialplan applications, functions, and AGI commands will  
> not
> disappear just because there is a new and better way to accomplish the
> same thing.
>
> With Asterisk 1.4, once Asterisk 1.4.N is released, Asterisk 1.4.X  
> is no
> longer supported, where X < N.  With Asterisk 1.6, the development  
> team
> plans to maintain a total of 3 releases at a time.  For example, the
> development team will support Asterisk 1.6.0, 1.6.1, and 1.6.2 until
> 1.6.3 is released.  This means that for the time that 1.6.0 is
> supported, there may be 1.6.0.1, 1.6.0.2, etc. releases that include
> fixes for regressions found in 1.6.0.
>
> With Asterisk 1.4, the goal has been to make releases every 4 to 6
> weeks.  With Asterisk 1.6, we aim to release updates in a similar time
> frame, but it is likely that it will be closer to 6 to 8 weeks for
> Asterisk 1.6 due to a more strict beta and release candidate testing
> cycle for each point release.
>
> The number of releases supported and release time frames are not yet  
> set
> in stone.  The development team is interested in adjusting these
> policies to help meet the desires of the Asterisk community.
