Tarballs are due on 2022-02-12 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 42.beta
newstable release, which will be delivered next week. In order to
ensure adequate testing, core modules should try to release according
to the unstable schedule if they have significant changes.  Please
make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Saturday 23:59
UTC. Tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late.


Tarballs are due on 2022-02-12 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 41.4

not expected to follow the schedule for stable releases. Instead,
please release when you judge that a new stable release is required.
