===Qt Creator Release Cycle===
===Upcoming Releases===


We aim for 3 Qt Creator minor releases each year. Each minor release goes through the following stages before the final release date:
Tentative dates:


* T-8 Weeks: Feature freeze
Qt Creator 15
* T-6 Weeks: Beta release + soft string freeze
* T-4 Weeks: String freeze
* T-2 Weeks: Release candidate
* T-0 Weeks: Final release


These times are approximate and can vary a bit, depending on the state of Qt Creator during the process.
* Feature freeze wk40 (~Oct 3 2024)
* Beta release wk42 (~Oct 17 2024)
* String freeze wk44 (~Oct 31 2024)
* RC release wk46 (~Nov 14 2024)
* Final release wk48 (~Nov 28 2024)


Patch releases can happen after the final release, mostly with the scope of fixing brown paper bag and high priority issues (see also the [[Submit-Policies|Qt Creator Submit Policies]] ''[qt.io]''). We do not maintain multiple Qt Creator minor releases in parallel, usually there is no patch release after the beta of the next minor release has been released. Qt Creator’s schedule is not aligned with Qt’s schedule, but we typically provide a patch release exactly matching Qt releases which is then released at the same time.
Qt Creator 16


The schedule for the next minor is typically set around release time, starting with a period about two months which focuses on feature development for the upcoming release. (During that time there might be patch releases as described above.)
* Feature freeze wk3 (~Jan 16 2025)
* Beta release wk5 (~Jan 30 2025)
* String freeze wk7 (~Feb 13 2025)
* RC release wk9 (~Feb 27 2025)
* Final release wk11 (~Mar 13 2025)

Qt Creator Release Cycle

We aim for 3 Qt Creator major releases each year. Each release goes through the following stages before the final release date:

  • T-8 Weeks: Feature freeze
  • T-6 Weeks: Beta release + soft string freeze
  • T-4 Weeks: String freeze
  • T-2 Weeks: Release candidate
  • T-0 Weeks: Final release

These times are approximate and can vary a bit, depending on the state of Qt Creator during the process.

Patch releases can happen after the final major release, mostly with the scope of fixing embarrassing bugs and high priority issues (see also the Qt Creator Submit Policies [qt.io]). We do not maintain multiple Qt Creator major releases in parallel, usually there is no patch release after the beta of the next release has been released. Qt Creator’s schedule is not aligned with Qt’s schedule, but we typically provide a patch release exactly matching Qt releases which is then released at the same time.

The time after a final (.0) release starts with a period of about two months (52 weeks / 3 releases - 8 weeks from feature freeze to final = 9 1/3 weeks) which focuses on feature development for the upcoming release. (During that time there might be patch releases as described above.)
