Desktop app release process
This document outlines the release process for the Mattermost desktop app.
Desktop app releases follow a fixed schedule of 4 releases per year. Releases ship quarterly by the 16th of March, June, September, and December of each year.
A dot release will be prepared sooner if Electron releases a security update, or if other urgent bugs are found.
Note: T-minus counts are measured in "working days" (weekdays other than major holidays concurrent in US and Canada) prior to release day.
Every 3 months, the Desktop app release milestones follow the cloud/self-hosted release milestones to align all release testing cycles.
Schedule for Desktop App releases:
- Cut release branch and RC-1 (around T-19). This is also the Feature Complete deadline.
- Code Freeze at T-10.
- Cut Final build at T-8.
- Release Day at T-0.
