openHAB 3 Milestone Builds

Ok, year end is moving closer and that means to us that we want to increase the frequency of new milestone builds. So here comes openHAB 3.0 Milestone 3!

The release notes are on Github at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/3.0.0.M3.

From now on we plan to do weekly milestone builds for openHAB 3 and plan to stick with the release date before christmas. The current plan for the upcoming releases therefore looks like this:

  • Nov 29: 3.0 M4
  • Dec 6: 3.0 M5
  • Dec 13: 3.0 RC1 (feature freeze)
    … critical fixes with further RCs …
  • Dec 21: 3.0 GA

With this focus on 3.0, we will reduce at the same time the release frequency for 2.5.x. We will continue to provide patch releases also well into next year, but only do those releases whenever a couple of fixes piled up. 2.5.11 probably makes sense early December, a 2.5.12 would then follow next year only.

Please use this topic for all discussions around the new Milestone build - thanks and have fun!
