<p>For planning purposes, tentative releases and timings (subject to
change) below, which are a reduced pace from the past few months
to lower the pressure of build and release work during the
holidays. <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>78.6.0 - build Friday Dec 11 & test, adjust on Monday Dec
14 if needed, ship Tuesday Dec 15</li>
<li>85.0b1 - build on merge day Monday Dec 14 & test, ship ~
Wednesday Dec 16</li>
<li>78.6.x is a six week cycle, not four, so decide going into
2021 whether we want a beta to happen before 78.6.1, or after.
One possible scenario</li>
<ul>
<li>85.0b2 week of Jan 4</li>
<li>78.6.1 week of Jan 11 (4 weeks from the previous release)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>78.7.0 - build Friday Jan 22, ship Tuesday Jan 26</li>
<li>86.0b1 - build on merge day build Jan 25 & test, ship ~
Wednesday Jan 27</li>
<li>Note - beta release for next ESR 91 ~ July 13, is in 5 months<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please plan work and patch delivery accordingly.</p>
