[asterisk-dev] Proposed Release Schedule Updates

[Russell Bryant]

Greetings,

The existing release schedule [1] says that both 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 will go 
into security only maintenance in April of 2010.  Even though this is 
documented and has been previously discussed, we should give users 
another very obvious notice of this change at least a month before it 
occurs.

To provide ample time to provide notice of this change, the proposed 
change to the release schedule is to have 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 go into 
security only mode after the bug fix update planned for the beginning of 
May.  The net result would be extended bug fix support of 1.6.0 for a 
month or so, and just a week or two for 1.6.1.

After leaving some time for feedback on the -dev list, the next step 
will be to announce the upcoming maintenance state change for 1.6.0 and 
1.6.1 to the mailing lists and asterisk.org.

Feedback on this upcoming change before we proceed is welcome.

Thanks,
