SME9.0 Roadmap
Back to SME Server 9.0 Development
Work in progress
This page will be updated with the plan to 'SME 9.0 FINAL'. In addition to the roadmap there needs to be a short-term task list for community members. That will be linked from here.
Pre-Alpha
Development is performed using COS6 minimal and packages from SME 8 and any other needed repo.
checkpoints
No external yum repo
COS6 ISO is used as a base, but only SME repos are needed.

SME 9.0 Alpha 1 - Done 14th Feb
This is the first ISO created from the SME 9 stream.

SME 9.0 Alpha 3 - Done 12th March
This is the third ISO created from the SME 9 stream.
Status: Achieved, 12th March
Goal
- SME Server branding, no obvious upstream branding left in.
SME 9.0 Beta 1 - Done October 14th
- Maturity is sufficient for widespread testing use, installer is functional but not supporting all options
- contrib owners should start testing their own contrib packages
- All fixes from SME 8.1 ported to SME 9.0 Beta 1
Status: Achieved, 14th October
SME 9.0 Beta 2 - Done November 8th
- Installer maturity increase, some installer options supported, i.e. anaconda is updated
Status: Achieved, November 8th
SME 9.0 Beta 3 - Done January 27th
- Installer maturity increases close to SME Server 8 parity, i.e. anaconda is updated
Status: Achieved, January 27th
SME 9.0 Beta 4 - In Progress
- Installer maturity matches SME Server 8, i.e. anaconda is updated
SME 9.0 Beta Y
At some point in the Beta cycle, as maturity improves and the rate of change slows, contribs should be tested.
SME 9.0 Beta X
As many Betas as needed to make it mature.
SME 9.0 RC 1
- Maturity matches SME 8.0
- Extensive testing need to prove maturity
SME 9.0 Final
- Maturity matches SME 8.0
- Feature parity with SME 8.0, the intention is not to add new features
- Content identical to the final RC, just version and release note updates.
- The main contrib packages should be working at the final release.
