Meta-release schedule
There are 2 CAMARA meta-releases per year: a Spring meta-release and a Fall meta-release. These are called SpringYY and FallYY respectively, where YY is the (short) year number.
- A meta-release cycle covers 6 months between M0 and M6, including holidays.
- The first CAMARA meta-release is Fall24, followed by Spring25, Fall25, etc.
The following figures provide the typical planning and milestone dates for a Spring or Fall meta-release.
Actual dates for a given meta-release can be found through the list of CAMARA meta-releases.
