Octane Release Train Roadmap
Introduction
After too many year that I can count, finally a new version of MaXXdesktop is finally here. A lot has changes since the last publicly available release, and we can't wait to share what MaXX is slowly becoming (too slow we get it).
Refer to the Technology Roadmap for more details
Fast-track Iterative release cycle
Newer approach to release goodies faster and with less overhead. It won't be perfect, but with time let's hope that others will join to support our efforts.
Proposed plan for MaXXdesktop v2.2
- Alpha (November 21st 2024)
- Beta / RC (December 23rd 2024)
- Release (11th January 2025)
