Firefox Adopts a 6-8 Week Variable Release Schedule
AmiMoJo writes: Four years ago Mozilla moved to a fixed-schedule release model, otherwise known as the Train Model, in which we released Firefox every six weeks to get features and updates to users faster. Now Mozilla is moving to a variable 6-8 week cycle, with the same number of releases per year but some flexibility to 'respond to emerging user and market needs' and allow time for holidays. The new release schedule looks like this:2016-01-26 – Firefox 442016-03-08 – Firefox 45, ESR 45 (6 weeks cycle)2016-04-19 – Firefox 46 (6 weeks cycle)2016-06-07 – Firefox 47 (7 weeks cycle)2016-08-02 – Firefox 48 (8 weeks cycle)2016-09-13 – Firefox 49 (6 weeks cycle)2016-11-08 – Firefox 50 (8 weeks cycle)2016-12-13 – Firefox 50.0.1 (5 week cycle, release for critical fixes as needed)2017-01-24 – Firefox 51 (6 weeks from prior release)Read more of this story at Slashdot.
