When to expect a new product version?

​

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

​

Products and their upgrades come in several flavours. For MonetDB we aim at two major releases per year, which include new features visible to our end-users and internal changes to keep the software abreast of 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. All of which are large projects whose release date can not always be predicted in advance. A new version is simply being brewed towards perfection before released to the public.
   

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

​
