Tip & Tail Release Theory

This model helps cater to both developers who need the latest features and those who prioritize stability and minimal changes¹(https://openjdk.org/jeps/[1](https://openjdk.org/jeps/14)4).

Define Tip & Tail Release Strategy for Client-Core

  1. Document the criteria for what constitutes a "tip" release versus a "tail" release.

  2. Establish a schedule for tip and tail releases (e.g., quarterly for tip, bi-annually for tail).

  3. Implement Tip Release for Client-Core

    • Sub-task: Develop and integrate new features and bug fixes.
    • Sub-task: Conduct thorough testing to ensure quality and performance.
    • Sub-task: Release the first tip version and gather user feedback.
  4. Implement Tail Release for Client-Core

    • Sub-task: Identify and prioritize critical bug fixes and security patches.
    • Sub-task: Conduct regression testing to ensure stability.
    • Sub-task: Release the first tail version and monitor for any issues.
  5. Quantify Performance Metrics

    • Sub-task: Define performance metrics to be measured (e.g., response time, throughput).
    • Sub-task: Set up automated performance testing for both tip and tail releases.
    • Sub-task: Analyze and document performance improvements or regressions.
