[Openvas-plugins] Fwd: [OVAL-DEVELOPER-LIST] Version 5.6 Release Timeline

[Michael Wiegand]

Hello,

For those of you who are already subscribed to oval-developer, sorry for
the repost.

For everyone else: if you have an idea for OVAL or ovaldi that could
improve OVAL support in OpenVAS, now is very good time to tell the OVAL
folks about it.

Regards,

Michael

Subject: [OVAL-DEVELOPER-LIST] Version 5.6 Release Timeline

It is time to begin the version 5.6 release process. I would like to
propose the following timeline for the release:

 - DRAFT May 14 (First draft published)
 - RELEASE CANDIDATE July 17
 - OFFICIAL August 14

There is currently a running list of issues slated for version 5.6 on
the version 5.6 web page
(http://oval.mitre.org/language/download/schema/version5.6/index.html).
Other issues and feature requests will be posted on this page as we work
through the release. It is expected that any outstanding new test
requests and new component schema requests will be integrated into this
release. 

This timeline should fit well with the SCAP Validation Program lifecycle
and work to ensure that we have a release in good shape for the 1
September 2009 deadline. The suggested timeline will allow for this and
give us plenty of time to produce a high quality release that could be
included in SCAP in September.

As many of you know we have conducted a review, clean up, and
clarification of our release process. Those activities were completed a
few weeks ago and the resulting documentation is now available on the
oval web site (http://oval.mitre.org/language/about/index.html).

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns
about this timeline. Of course, if you have specific items you would
like to see in this release please don't be shy.

Thanks,

Jon
