Hello all, The next major release of Bitcoin Core, 0.12.0 is planned for the end of the year. Let's propose a more detailed schedule: 2015-11-01 ----------- - Open Transifex translations for 0.12 - Soft translation string freeze (no large or unnecessary changes) - Finalize and close translation for 0.10 2015-12-01 ----------- - Feature freeze - Translation string freeze In December at least I will probably not get much done code-wise (Scaling Bitcoin Hongkong, 32C3, end of year festivities, etc), and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so let's leave that for last pre-RC bugfixes and polishing. 2016-01-06 ----------- - Split off `0.12` branch from `master` - Start RC cycle, tag and release `0.12.0rc1` - Start merging for 0.13 on master branch 2016-02-01 ----------- - Release 0.12.0 final (aim) Wladimir
