eRelease Release candidates for all major and minor Fedora releases (see: Fedora 4 Semantic Versioning) will be available for public testing for a period of three weeks before publishing the official release. If subsequent release candidates are published as a result of bugs discovered in testing, an additional week of testing MAY be added to the schedule per additional release candidate.

Exception: Release candidates for point or bug releases MAY have a shorter period of public testing.

Notification of Fedora release candidates will be published to the following mailing lists:

• fedora-tech@googlegroups.com
• fedora-community@googlegroups.com
• samvera-tech@googlegroups.com

Note: The islandora-dev group is being archived, it is suggested to either email the islandora@googlegroups.com group or just announce the release in their Slack.
