From my point of view bi-monthly release are too much. For a ?.?.1 release two months are fine because several issues are found by 3rd party authors. But after that a release every quarter is sufficient.

* .1 release two months after the .0 release * .2, .3, .4 and .5 release every quarter * about here the next minor release gets out * .6 and further releases after 6 months when necessary

In the past, we had been striving for releases every 6 month. This was already very difficult to achieve.

While I'm happy that Barry has automated his part to a high degree, my part is, unfortunately, much less automated. I could personally automate the build process a bit more, but part of it is also testing of the installers, which is manual.

Regards, Martin
