New product versions

​

The roadmap for the MonetDB software suite is driven by end-user needs, software issues encountered, while its architectural innovations are driven by science.​

​

Products and their upgrades come in several flavours. For MonetDB we aim for two major releases per year, which include new features visible to our end-users and internal changes to keep the software on a par with the competition. For commercial users, we can prepare pre-release installers on demand.

​

How it works:

​

• After a  feature release has been shipped, we collect bug fixes and performance improvements into service-packs. Minor releases are typically issued every other month unless the patches are security-related and require speedy dissemination.
   

• During the intra-major-release period, we develop new components, refactor old ones, or embark on new deployment targets. These are all large projects whose release date can not always be predicted in advance. A new version is simply being brewed to perfection before being released to the public.
   

• After a few months, we reach the antechamber of a new feature release. There is an intense period to fix any remaining bugs, ensuring backwards compatibility and avoiding performance degradations.
