Release Schedule Guidelines

Spring Security Release Schedule Guidelines

• These are guidelines around when Spring Security will be released. We favor pragmatism to sticking strictly to the rules.

• Spring Security releases the second Friday of the month. If a release happens over a holiday, then we will do it the following Monday.

• We have two GA releases a year labeled GA-1 and GA-2

• If an RC2 is necessary, we will release RC2 two weeks after RC1

• Regularly scheduled patch releases occur every other month

• There may be circumstances (i.e fixing a CVE) where an extra release is performed.
