Release Schedule
================
-OpenDaylight releases twice per year.The six-month aspect of the cadence was designed to synchronize OpenDaylight
-releases with OpenStack and OPNFV releases. As of today, these dates have been adjusted to match the current resource availability and requirement from current OpenDaylight users. Based on that, we have decided to produce three service releases from now on, so no more SR4 .
-Dates may be manually adjusted if they conflict with holidays, overlap or are otherwise problematic. These dates include the release of both managed and self-managed projects.
