Abstract
|
||
|
||
This document describes the Python 2.2 development and release
|
||
schedule. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized
|
||
items. Small bug fixes and changes will occur up until the first
|
||
beta release.
|
||
|
||
The schedule below represents the actual release dates of Python
|
||
2.2. Note that any subsequent maintenance releases of Python 2.2
|
||
should be covered by separate PEPs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Release Schedule
|
||
|
||
Tentative future release dates. Note that we've slipped this
|
||
compared to the schedule posted around the release of 2.2a1.
|
||
|
||

|
||
14-Dec-2001: 2.2c1 [Released]
|
||

|

Release Manager
|
||
|
||
Barry Warsaw was the Python 2.2 release manager.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Release Mechanics
|
||
|
||
We experimented with a new mechanism for releases: a week before
|
||
every alpha, beta or other release, we forked off a branch which
|
||
became the release. Changes to the branch are limited to the
|
||
release manager and his designated 'bots. This experiment was
|
||
deemed a success and should be observed for future releases. See
|
||
PEP 101 for the actual release mechanics[1].
|
||
|
||
|
||
New features for Python 2.2
|
||
|
||
The following new features are introduced in Python 2.2. For a
|
||
more detailed account, see Misc/NEWS[2] in the Python
|
||
distribution, or Andrew Kuchling's "What's New in Python 2.2"
|
||
document[3].
