Here is a proposed release schedule for 0.18.0, the next major release of Bitcoin Core. Like for previous major releases I've aimed for a release 6 months after the last (#12624).

2019-02-01 ✔️

  • Open Transifex translations for 0.18
  • Soft translation string freeze (no large or unnecessary string changes until release)
  • Finalize and close translations for 0.16

2019-02-15 ✔️

  • Feature freeze (bug fixes only until release)
  • Translation string freeze (no more source language changes until release)

2019-03-01 ✔️

  • Split off 0.18 branch from master
  • Start RC cycle, tag and release 0.18.0rc1
  • Start merging for 0.19 on master branch

2019-04-03 ✔️

  • Release 0.18.0 final (aim)

If any specific dates or timeframes are a problem for you, let me know.

There was some slippage there due to various well-known issues; the official release date for 0.17.0 is 2018-10-03, adding 6 months, shouldn't 2018-04-03 be the aim. Say, move it all a month forward?

If #12255 gets merged before this next release, distro package maintainers should be notified of the correction of the default data directory.

There should probably be a 0.17.2 release before the 0.18.0 release

What's the primary motivation for 0.17.2?

There have been some minor fixes, but I see that that might not be enough motivation to do it before 0.18.0

Feature freeze is now in effect, we'll only merge bugfixes until the 0.18 split-off.
