14 DAY TRIAL // Fedora Platform and Program Manager Jan Kurik informs today the Fedora Linux community about the fact that the upcoming Fedora 26 Beta milestone has been delayed for one week due to various blocker bugs and other issues.
Fedora 26 Beta was already delayed three times and was expected to land next week, on May 30, but it is now rescheduled for the first week of June, on the 6th. This change will also affect the final release of the Fedora 26 operating system, which will hit the streets on July 4, 2017.
"Release status of the Fedora 26 Beta is NO-GO. Due to missing RC of Fedora 26 Beta release and presence of blocker bugs we are delaying release of Fedora 26 Beta for one week," said Jan Kurik. "There is going to be one more Go/No-Go meeting the next Thursday, June 1st, 2017 at 17:00 UTC to verify we are ready for the release."
With Fedora nothing is set in stone, so there will be another meeting next week on June 1 to decide if the Fedora 26 Beta is ready for public testing or not. If it is delayed again due to other blockers bugs, the above dates will change again, pushing the final release date even further.
According to the current release schedule, the Final Freeze stage is set for June 20, 2017, for those interested in the development cycle of the operating system. Let's hope that this will be the last delay for Fedora 26, but as they say, better late and stable than earlier and buggy.
