Minor Release Schedule Update Going Forward
So with another month of release experience under my bag, I have found a couple of points to improve the release trains. First of all
Weekly Prerelease will release 1 hour earlier at 22:22 UTC.
I wanted to have enough buffer time to last minute fix issues. But it looks like my worries here were a bit overblown and my time management on friday is doing fine enough to finish several hours before the prerelease time.
And since I can't have a peace of mind until...

Alright, so in order to inform about the development progress and to give an idea on what changes a new prerelease contains, I plan to write a weekly devlog. Here's the first entry!
From now on, I will address prerelease builds as 0.x.0-prerelease-y where x is the upcoming version and y is the current week of the development cycle.
I spent last weekend mostly dealing with reported bugfixes and creating the public hotfix build 0.4.1. Luckily there were barely any further bug reports a...

Project Plan: Feburary
Alright, I hope I can make this a regular thing. So, here are the things that I want to tackle this month. Since one week has already passed, we are currently going towards the week 2 tasks. But I suspect that with every major update there will be some need to do some post-release bugfixing so that one will probably recur in pretty much all future monthly plans.
