[tor-talk] Firefox vs. Tor Browser Bundle release cycles

[Al Billings]

??

Mozilla runs a completely open, documented, and transparent release process.

The dates are published basically six months in advance (and more like a year if you count in six week increments). We’ve moved one date (the next one) in the last 18 months, I think. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar

We freeze and build a week before release. You can watch the hg repository, which is public, for when we bump the version numbers, which locks down the release. For example:

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr24/

we usually had no idea of the specific date and did 
not have access to releases any earlier than everyone else.
