Problems that should be resolved before the next release are marked as ``high priority'' in the bug database.
GDB's schedule works on a slip-for-slip basis. If, for some reason, the branch date slips, the release date will slip by an equivalent amount.
| Release | Estimate | Schedule | Actual | Slip (months) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6 | 2006-11 | 2006-12 | 2006-12-18 | 6.5 | (none) | (none) | 2006-06-21 |
| 6.4 | 2005-11 | 2005-11 | 2005-12-01 | 0 | |
| 6.3 | 2004-11 | 2004-11 | 2004-11-09 | 0! | We rock! |
| 6.2 | 2004-08 | 2004-07-30 | 2004-07-30 | 0 | Went very
smootly (provided you ignore that MIPS was discovered to be broken on
the last day). |
| 6.1.1 | 2004-05 | 2004-05-31 | 2004-06-16 | 1 | Kept NEWS
entries missed in 6.1. |
| 6.1 | 2004-01 | 2004-03-27 | 2004-04-04 | 2 | Branched
two months late (slight distraction). Need to ensure that only bug
fixes get committed to the branch. |
| 6 | 2003-03 | 2003-08-26 | 2003-10-06 | 2 | The estimated branch date was 2003-03-01-gmt, but in the end it was scheduled for 2003-06-14-gmt. Once on the branch, a very small list of must-have features draged things out. Adding to the fun, at the last moment the process hit unanticipated non-coding problems causing the cart wheels to fall off :-) |
| 5.3 | 2002-10-09 | 2002-12-12 | 2 | Branched on time. Released late. Too many things to cleanup on the branch. | |
| 5.2.1 | 2002-06-16 | 2002-07-23 | 1 | Scheduled too soon after previous release | |
| 5.2 | 2002-04-07 | 2002-04-30 | 1 | ||
| 5.1.1 | 2002-01-24 | 2002-01-24 | |||
| 5.1 | 2001-08-05 | 2001-11-21 | 3 | Unscheduled (human) breakage | |
| 5 | 2000-02-29 | 2000-05-19 | 3 | Too ambitious | |
| 4.18 | 1999-04-10 |
