[Bioc-devel] Question for scheduled release

Dear Bioconductor team,
 
I am the maintainer for DeMixT package (1.5.0 in devel, 1.4.0 in release currently). Here I have a question for release schedule.
I notice the scheduled new devel Bioc 3.13 is Oct 13th, does that mean if I want to push a new version 1.7.0 on devel, I need to wait for the building of Bioc 3.13 (Oct 13th)?
If I push the new version successfully then, the corresponding release version 1.6.0 will be released automatically on Oct 26th?
 
Thanks for all the help,
Peng

The officially release will not be until October 28th.  Today,  commmits to release/ RELEASE_3_11 (1.4.0) will be frozen and there will be no more commits allowed to this branch every.  You can still commit the the master/devel branch (1.5.0) .   For version x.y.z ,  if you push to the devel you should still only introduce a version bump to the z ... (1.5.1,  1.5.2, ...) ,  The Bioconductor core team will handle the version bump to 1.6.0  on the actual release day later this month -  Users do not make this version bump.  This is why we always recommend pulling down with a git pull upstream? before making changes locally to pick up changes from the core team (like the release version bump)

Cheers,
