Hello all,
the release of Content version 0.1.71 is scheduled for December 8, 2023.
As part of the release process, a stabilization branch was created.
Issues and PRs that were not solved were moved to the 0.1.72 milestone.
Any bug fixes you would like to include in release 0.1.71 should be
proposed for the *stabilization-v0.1.71* and *master* branches as a
measure to avoid
potential conflicts between these branches.
The next version, 0.1.72, is scheduled to be released on February 9, 2024,
with the stabilization phase starting on January 29, 2024.
Regards,

Hello all,
on behalf of contributors who are regularly publishing releases of this
project, I would like to announce intention to change cadence of those
releases.
Currently, we publish new release every two months.
We would like to prolong the period between two releases to three months.
The stabilization phase stays the same; two weeks.
This should bring two main benefits. Firstly, there are certain security
policies (for example DISA STIG) which are updated roughly every three
months. Currently, it happens that the time of policy update and the
time of the project release desynchronize over time, meaning that the
release might not contain the content aligned with the latest published
policy and at the same time content consumers have to wait for more than
month for the updated content. We are aware that this can happen due to
many circumstances, but changing the release cadence should eliminate
the most obvious one.
Secondly, this will save the release team some time which is spent on
reviewing of stabilization jobs every two months. We believe that we
could use this time to improve health of the project as well as release
automation without impacting usefulness of releases.
The date of upcoming release 0.1.71 stays the same.
Now is the time for your feedback. Feel free to voice your opinions and
questions here.
If we do not receive any negative feedback until Monday November 27th,
we plan to start doing releases every three months, counting from the
0.1.72 release.
Thank you and have a nice day.
