📣 Announcement: January Security Release Schedule
🔎 Overview
During December 2023, the Delivery Team successfully executed the first pilot of having two scheduled security releases. Having one additional security in the month halved the cycle time of security releases and helps us to deliver security and bug fixes whilst meeting our SLAs.
During January 2024, Delivery will continue with this pilot by scheduling two security releases, one on the second week of the month and another one on the last week of the month.
This only impacts you if you are working on, or plan on working on a security issue. If you miss the security release targeting 2024-01-11, you will have a chance to be included in the additional security release for 2024-01-25 rather than having to wait a full month.
