This is our official announcement of the 10.9.0 feature freeze, as well as an overview of the upcoming release plan and instructions on how to help test it and report bugs! The more people we get testing early, the more bugs we can find and squash before the planned release in ~1 month! Happy watching!
If you're contributing to Jellyfin and your existing feature PRs have not yet been merged, please don't fret. 10.9.0 was an abnormally long release cycle and something we do not wish to repeat, so your changes will get in soon for 10.10.0, which we expect to happen in about 6 months at most.
So it's okay, it will not take a long time even if it didn't make it to 10.9.0.
It’s good to know that future release cycles will be shorter, but it still feels a little bad on Media Segments because it seemed so close to being done. Oh well, I’ve been waiting years for proper intro/outro on JF, I can wait 6 more months :)
