发布周期

Work is done in two branches:

The branch will be available for 5 weeks prior to the release date. At the same time master will be open for the next release, giving 2 months to add documentation for new features for the next release, and another month to make improvements.

Bcon Phases

Each Blender version has its own Bcon phase, indicating which types of changes are allowed to be committed and what writers are focusing on.

That means for example that Blender 2.90 can be in Bcon3 (wrapping up), while Blender 2.91 is in Bcon1 (new features and changes).
