+PEP: 361
+Title: Python 2.6 Release Schedule
+Version: $Revision$
+Last-Modified: $Date$
+Author: Neal Norwitz
+Status: Draft
+Type: Informational
+Created: 29-June-2006
+Python-Version: 2.6
+Post-History:
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document describes the development and release schedule for
+ Python 2.6. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized
+ items. Small features may be added up to and including the first
+ beta release. Bugs may be fixed until the final release.
+
+ There will be at least two alpha releases, two beta releases, and
+ one release candidate. The release date is planned to be in XXX 2008.
+
+
+Release Manager and Crew
+
+ XXX volunteered to be Release Manager.
+
+ XXX is building the Windows installers,
+ XXX is building the Mac installers,
+ XXX the doc packages and
+ XXX the RPMs.
+
+
+Release Schedule
+
+ Note that this schedule is completely tentative. The number of alphas,
+ betas and release candidates will be determined as the release process
+ unfolds. The minimal schedule is:
+
+ June 2007: (re)confirm the crew and start deciding on schedule.
+ The initial 2.6 target is for April 2008.
+
+ alpha 1: T - 16 weeks [planned]
+ alpha 2: T - 13 weeks [planned]
+ beta 1: T - 9 weeks [planned]
+ beta 2: T - 5 weeks [planned]
+ rc 1: T - 1 week [planned]
+ final: T [planned]

+
+ Other major features:

+
+
+Possible features for 2.6
+
+ New features *should* be implemented prior to alpha2, particularly
+ any C modifications or behavioral changes. New features *must* be
+ implemented prior to beta1 or will require Release Manager approval.
+
+ The following PEPs are being worked on for possible inclusion in 2.6:
+
+ - PEP 275: Switching on Multiple Values
+ - PEP 297: Support for System Upgrades
+
+ Each non-trivial feature listed here that is not a PEP must be 
+ discussed on python-dev. Other enhancements include:
+
+ - distutils replacement (requires a PEP)
+ - turtle.py replacement or enhancements
+
+ New modules in the standard library:
+
+ - winerror
+ http://python.org/sf/1505257
