> we would like to let you know that the release cycle for DHIS 2 will be be
> shifting from 4 to 3 yearly releases. The upcoming releases look like this:
>
> 2.27: June 1, 2017
> 2.28: October 1, 2017
> 2.29: February 1, 2018
>
>
> A few observations led to this change:
>
> - The machinery around DHIS 2 of documentation, academy materials, release
> notes, web pages and so on is getting larger and the overhead of updating
> it for each release is becoming significant.
>
> - Implementing organizations seem to be lagging a few releases behind the
> latest on average in terms of testing and roll-out. This leads to a large
> demand for back-porting of fixes and even features, consuming a lot of
> developer time.
>
>
> So by reducing the number of releases by one we hope to reduce the
> overhead and free more time for new development. We promise to remain agile
> and user-driven in spite of this change.
