What is the release schedule of Firefox OS, anyway?
I keep searching for Firefox OS releases periodically, but the news keep coming up only on obscure non-English language blogs. I can Google-translate, but shouldn't the press releases, like, be announced in English, too, and make waves around the internet?
According to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing the 2.0 reached "Code Complete" on September, 1, 2014. Does it mean that it has been released on that date? If not, then when?
- fabrice_d 12y agoCode Complete means that the work is mostly done on Mozilla side on this release (we still fix/backport some blockers that are found late in the testing cycle). Then OEMs have their own shipping schedule so it takes some time before you end up with devices sold or updated to this release.
- listic 12y agoIs Code Complete the planned or actual date when Firefox OS reaches this stage? I didn't see any news regarding 2.0 around September, 1. Is the release model significantly different from Android, where Google publicly announces the release of each version, even if it will still take some time for phone manufacturers to incorporate this version into their releases?
- kumar303 12y agoNo commercial Firefox OS devices are shipping in any English speaking country. It looks like you're finding community blog posts probably clustered around launch countries. Anyway, press releases are always announced in English here: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/category/press-releases/ https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/category/press-releases/
- listic 12y agoSure. But isn't it up to Mozilla, rather than its partners, to announce the release of their Firefox OS? I can see no release announcements in this blog, either.
