Understanding the release cycle
-------------------------------
The development release cycle is two to four weeks long. Each cycle
freezes the master development branch and applies `integration and
upgrade tests <https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ for the
duration of one cycle before it is released and the next release's
code is frozen for testing. Once released, there is no effort to
backport fixes; developer focus in on the next development release
which is usually only a few weeks away.
There are three to four stable releases a year. Each stable release
will receive a name (e.g., 'Jewel') and bug fix backports at least
until the next stable release is out.
Every other stable releases is a LTS (Long Term Stable) and will
receive updates until two LTS are published. For instance Dumpling is
retired when Hammer is published, Firefly is retired when Jewel is
published etc. The rationale is that backports to a LTS (Firefly for
instance) are expected to happen until the next LTS is published
(Jewel is the LTS following Hammer), to fix bugs and possibly
backport important features. After the next LTS is published,
backports are still expected to fix bugs with a focus on whatever can
prevent upgrades to the next LTS (in our example, fixes to Dumpling
were published after Firefly was released and until Hammer was
published, primarily to ensure Dumpling cluster can smoothly migrate
to Firefly).
* Long Term Stable : until the next two LTS are published
* Stable release : until the next stable release is published
* Development / testing release : no backports
For each stable release:
* `Integration and upgrade tests
<https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ are run on a regular basis
and `their results <http://pulpito.ceph.com/>`_ analyzed by Ceph
developers.
* `Issues <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues?query_id=27>`_
fixed in the development branch (master) are scheduled to be backported.
* When an issue found in the stable release is `reported
<http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues/new>`_, it is
triaged by Ceph developers.
* The `stable releases and backport team <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases>`_
publishes ``point releases`` including fixes that have been backported to the stable release.
In the timeline, the life time of a LTS is calculated to be
approximately 18 months after the month of the first release. For
instance, Dumpling is published August 2013 and 18 months starting
September 2013 is February 2015, therefore by March 2015 Dumpling
should be retired. The lifetime of a release may vary because it
depend on how quickly the stable releases are published. For instance
although Dumpling theoritical retirement was March 2015, it was
extended to May 2015.
Release numbers conventions
---------------------------
The first Ceph release back in Jan of 2008 was 0.1. That made sense at
the time. The versioning scheme did not change until April 2015,
when 0.94.1 (the first Hammer point release) was published. To avoid reaching
0.99 (and 0.100 or 1.00?) we have a new strategy.
* x.0.z - development releases (for early testers and the brave at heart)
* x.1.z - release candidates (for test clusters, brave users)
* x.2.z - stable/bugfix releases (for users)
``x`` will start at 9 for Infernalis (``I`` is the 9th letter), making
our first development release of the 9th release cycle 9.0.0.
Subsequent development releases will be 9.0.1, 9.0.2, etc.
After a couple months we'll have a 9.1.0 (and maybe 9.1.1) release candidate.
A few weeks after that we'll have the Infernalis release 9.2.0, followed
by stable bug fix updates 9.2.1, 9.2.2, etc., and then begin work on the
Jewel (10.y.z) release.
