Mid 2022 Release Plans

Matthew Pickering - 2022-05-23

This post sets out our current plans for the upcoming releases in the next few months.

9.4.1

The next stage of the 9.4.1 release series (alpha2) will be released within the next few days. The main changes in alpha2 relative to alpha1 are improvements to the packaging and release process which have fixed a number of packaging bugs present in alpha1 due to moving to bindists built by hadrian.

The final 9.4.1 release is scheduled for late July.

The release manager for this release is Ben Gamari.

9.2.3

The 9.2.3 release is scheduled to immediately follow the 9.4.1-alpha1. This release fixes some packaging issues on Windows and a few bugs, notably:
