=== 2.8.0 release preparations ===
{{Main article|Release plan}}
Since the feature freeze on June 17, no new features may be pushed to our [[Git]] repositories. Aircraft outside the base package can still receive updates till July 17, when release branches will be created from the repositories. That is basically the birth of a new release. From then on only bug fixes will be accepted.


Thanks to the branching, development for the next-next release (3.0.0?) can start right away; even before 2.8.0 is released.
