2004.2 Information Guide
1.
Goals
2004.2 is a natural progression for the Gentoo release cycle.
2004.0 was focused on simply releasing, 2004.1 was focused on releasing
and polishing the release process, and 2004.2 is going to focus on
release media QA. To achieve this focus, 2004.2 has two distinct goals:
- Completion of the Feature Request (found later in this document).
- Stringent QA on release media
The schedule has been redefined in order to make these two important goals
possible.
