Hi,
now that you are at 2 releases per year,
make it 1 release per year!
benefits:
-
increase anticipation of new release
-
every release is an LTS
-
gives your adopters a peace of mind
-
you don’t have to do a third release as an LTS
-
your teams have twice the time at 1/3. work less
-
your teams have more time to plan and polish, making LTS even easier
-
gives the year in the version name a unique meaning
when to release each year?:
-
northern hemisphere spring:
-
something to look forward to in the new year
-
summer is unsuited: people on holidays
-
winter is unsuited: game developers party after their last release
-
autumn is too late
