Tasks needed before the next release. This document describes the release process used by GNU Emacs.
* RELEASE CYCLE
Each release cycle will be split into two periods.
** Phase one: development
The first phase of the release schedule is the "heads-down" working
period for new features, on the `master' branch and several feature
branches.
** Phase two: bugfixes
Shortly before this phase, Emacs developers will be devoted to
figuring out what features to include in the next release and what
features to defer to a later release.
At the beginning of this phase, a release branch called "emacs-NN"
("NN" represents the major version number of the new Emacs release)
will be cut from `master'.
This phase is spent fixing bugs and eliminating undocumented new
features on the "emacs-NN" branch.
In parallel to this phase, `master' can receive new features, to be
released in the next release cycle. From time to time, the master
branches merges bugfix commits from the "emacs-NN" branch.
* RELEASE-CRITICAL BUGS
Emacs uses the "blocking bug(s)" feature of Debbugs for bugs need to
be addressed in the next release.
Currently, bug#19759 is the tracking bug for release of 25.1. Say
bug#123 needs to be fixed for Emacs 25.1. Send a message to
control@debbugs.gnu.org that says:
block 19759 by 123
Change "block" to "unblock" to unblock the bug.
