Release Cadence

[alberk8]

Since Eclipse foundation took over this project, I don't see a whole lot of commits or development. Is there a roadmap or release cadence as to what is planned?

Hi @alberk8.

Right now, we are still in a transition phase. The team will address CVEs but will otherwise not tackle new feature development. We focused our efforts on finding ways to properly support future safety certifications going forward. This took way more time than expected.

You can expect an official update from the Foundation soon. Please subscribe to the general ThreadX mailing list to stay in touch. You will need an Eclipse Foundation account to subscribe.

Hi everyone.

I appreciate your patience. The project is in much better shape now. We started merging small fixes and improvements and are working on a public roadmap, which we intend to make available in early 2025.

I expect we will do a v6.4.2 service release in Q1 2025, barring any unforeseen issues.

My current focus is to convert the current documentation set (rtos-docs repository) from markdown to AsciiDoc. This is because we found a way to publish the current MD files to HTML but ran into difficulties in doing the same to PDF. Microsoft used a custom solution for that, and we did not inherit it. Moving to AsciiDoc will enable us to publish easily to both formats.

So, things are looking up! Happy holidays to you all.

I am glad to hear that, especially since in my opinion ThreadX is a piece of very good software. Probably its major problem was that it was seen as a Microsoft product.
