All dates given here are subject to revision, but we will try our best to stick to them if possible.
Cyrille Berger is acting as release coordinator for the KOffice 1.6 release.
KOffice 1.6 will be released independently from KDE. But new development will only happens for a few applications (mostly Krita, Kexi and KChart), other applications are developed for the version 2.0 of koffice.
The development for the 1.6 branch is started only for Krita, Kexi, KChart and KPlato, other parts of koffice are closed for now.
The 1.5 branch is officially close for bug fixes, except critical ones, all bug fixes must be applied to the 1.6 branch.
An alpha version of KOffice 1.6 is released.
From that date, developers are asked to be carefull about the modification they make, no big changes, even if, adding small new features is still allowed. This is needed if we want to shorten the release cycle and still be sure to deliver a high quality new version.
The 1.6 branch of KOffice is frozen: no new features, bugfixes commits only, no commit that modifies an application's behaviour, and message freeze.
