Mozilla Thinking about Shortening Their Release Cycle Even Further

Captured using the launch of their then new Opera 5 browser Mozilla began to implement their new�accelerated release format�which was introduced in March.

Reports�are now circulating that Mozilla may be searching to lower their current six week cycle lower for an even short 5 week format. But there's concern�amongst�Mozilla s designers the even shorter lead occasions could potentially cause burnout inside the team.

Mozilla software engineer Josh Aas�explains:

Our transition to delivering every six days went very well, -� We re getting fixes to customers a lot more rapidly than we accustomed to, but could we obtain fixes to customers even faster Moving to some five week cycle means a fix starting mozilla-central would reach customers three days faster.

There's already concern within companies concerning the current release schedule and compatibility so�reducing�even further is probably not something Mozilla will adopt very rapidly.
