[cisco-voip] CUCM SU release cycle

Thu Aug 15 10:53:50 EDT 2019

Anthony,

Slide 20 of the deck from this session (https://www.ciscolive.com/global/on-demand-library.html?search=cucm%20version&search.event=ciscoliveus2019#/session/1540336593046001DbNj) makes a loose reference to it in the timeline graphic.

There is a deck out there that gives a deeper explanation (and I'll send it to you if I have some time to look for it); but it was essentially because the BU felt features/enhancements were delayed to the field because everyone had a fear of " .0 " (not a wholly unfounded fear, IMO) and also some marketing jazz about being more inline with software revisionist trends .. etc.

-Ryan

Yeah, this was the jist. No one liked “dot oh” releases.

It just means people are now going to make up their own upgrade cycle in their head based on what we hear. Waiting until SU2 maybe? Who knows.

I heard this in a preso. Customers were not moving to .0 releases because they were perceived to be bad and waiting for .5 or .1 type releases. The defect rates though are not much if any different these days and they won’t want to be making releases that nobody uses.

Why not just all Major versions all the time?  Google Chrome is on version 76.

But seriously though, anyone got a reference to this announcement?  I didn't see it in the cisco live preso linked earlier.

If not, what's the reported reason for dropping minor release numbers?

After 12.5, no more “.5” releases, it’ll just be major versions (and the SUs in between). After 12.5 we skip 13 and go right to 14 (then presumably, 15 after that).

What's going on with .5 releases?  I don't think I heard about that.

Yeah, I think with the move away from the .5 releases, we'll be getting more SU's and less major releases.

Hi Group,

in the past , the SU release is every 6 months (usually longer than that, approximately twice a year maximum) but now Cisco is changing to every 2 months?
