Thread: 8.0 release schedule?

Any views on when an 8.0 release is likely? I appreciate that it will depend
on beta testing but any insight into current intentions would be helpful for
a deployment decision over the next few days/weeks.

Thanks

[ all together now... ]  When it's ready.

Seriously, if I had to guess I'd say sometime between September and
December.  It is too early in the beta cycle to be more specific than
that.

Well, you know the official answer, but inofficially I can tell you that
over the past 4 release cycles, beta phases have lasted 3.5 months on
average, with little deviation.  Based on that, I would not expect a
final release before the middle of November.
