# Release Stages
8 1 rbarlow
9 24 semyers
**Beta** - Dev believes the release is complete and ready for testing. Any bug fixes related to this release are still acceptable.  
10
**Release Candidate** (RC) - Only bug fixes related to regressions, upgrade failures, or similar severity are accepted at this point.  
11
**Generally Available** (GA) - Release is generally available in the stable repositories.

## Release Stage Conditions
14
15
Releases spend a minimum time of one week in a given release stage. Subsequent releases in a given stage do not "reset the clock" on this waiting period. Care is taken to verify release-breaking bugs prior to advancing to the next release stage, which usually adds a few days to the release cycle, preventing "rapid-fire" releases.
16
17
### Z Release Beta
18
19
There are no release candidates for Z releases. Z releases advance directly to GA after testing reveals no new blocking issues, and have passed acceptance testing by QE (including upgrade testing).
20
21
### Y Release Beta
22
23
Y releases advance to RC after testing reveals no new blocking issues, and have passed acceptance testing by QE (not including upgrade testing).
24
25
### Y Release RC
26
27
This release stage cannot advance to GA until the upgrade path from previous versions of pulp is confirmed to be working.

# Y Release Cadence
30 12 semyers
31 24 semyers
Due to the unpredictable timeline of the release schedule once a Beta is released, the Y release cycle begins on the day of the previous **Beta** Y release. While unpredictable, the 12-week period between beta releases should be more than adequate to get that release Generally Available and still allow a few weeks before the next Beta is announced.

  - week 12+1?: Y release advances through Beta stage to RC as stage conditions are met. Release schedule is no longer time-based.

This release cadence was introduced to coincide with the release of the 2.11.0 Beta on 2016/10/25. If desired, the previous Y release cadence can be seen in the history of this wiki document.

2.y releases are no longer time based and therefore are not dependent on when previous y release beta was cut. The rest of the schedule is followed

# Z Release Cadence
48
49
The Z release cycle starts with a beta released roughly every three weeks. A beta Z release should begin place two weeks after the previous Z release becomes Generally Available. The Z release will spend a minimum of one week in Beta before being eligible to become Generally Available.

  - week 0: (Z-1) Previous Z Beta Release

54
  - week 3: Beta Z Release
55
  - week 4: GA Z Release

Z releases are released as often as possible based on this schedule, but are subject to upgrade testing which often extends the beta period beyond a week.

# Version Numbering
60
61
To the best of our ability, our releases adhere to semantic versioning. The releases in this document correspond to releases that increment a given release component (Y or Z) as defined by semantic versioning:
62
63
http://semver.org/#spec-item-2
64
65
In short, a "Z Release" increments the "Z" release component (e.g. 1.0.0 -\> 1.0.1), and indicates no new features; only bug and security fixes have taken place. A "Y Release" increments the "Y" release component (e.g. 1.0.0 -\> 1.1.0), and indicates that new features have been introduced, but backward-incompatible API changes have not taken place.

"X" Releases are not covered by this document. At the moment, they are rare enough as to be handled case-by-case. The next X release, Pulp 3, is currently being actively discussed on the pulp-dev mailing list. If you're interested in participating, go here to subscribe:
