Chapter 44. Release Policy

Any JanusGraph committer may propose a release. To propose a release, simple start a new RELEASE thread on janusgraph-dev proposing the new release and requesting feedback on what should be included in the release. After consensus is reached the release manager will perform the following tasks:

  • Create a release branch so that work may continue on master
  • Prepare the release artifacts
  • Call a vote to approve the release on janusgraph-dev
  • Committers will be given 72 hours to review and vote on the release artifacts
  • Three +1 votes are required for a release to be approved
  • One or more -1 votes with explanation will veto the release until the noted issues are addressed and the -1 votes are withdrawn
