Overview
The purpose of the platform corrective and evolutive maintenance is to address bugs and feature requests.
See the Release Notes and the SourceForge databases (bugs and feature requests) for details about the previous and upcoming releases of the Rodin platform.
Motivations
The main evolutions of the Rodin platform are driven by the description of work for the DEPLOY project and the requirements expressed by industrial WP1 to WP5 partners or by consultants during the lifecycle of the project.
Beyond that, any user registered on SourceForge may record any encountered bug on the Rodin platform or request a new feature, using the dedicated SourceForge trackers. Depending on the category, the bug / feature is assigned to the WP9 partner who is in charge of its treatment:

Choices / Decisions
The WP9 partners have agreed on a release policy (see the Rodin Platform Releases wiki page). In particular, a new version of the Rodin platform is released every 3 months, a wiki page is dedicated to each release, and the code is frozen during the 2 weeks preceding each release.
The main advantages, for both developers and end-users, are summarized below:
- Information. The wiki page dedicated to each release provides instant information on the new features and improvements, which may be discussed if necessary.
- Validation. The period of code freeze is more especially devoted to bug fixes, and the frequency of the stable releases is ensured.
- Integration. A synchronization between the optional plug-ins and other plug-ins is now possible.
Available Documentation
The following pages give useful information about the Rodin platform releases:
- Release notes.
- See http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Rodin_Platform_Releases.
- More details are provided in the notes distributed with each release (eg. http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=693928).
- Bugs.
- Feature requests.
Planning
The Rodin Platform Releases wiki page lists in particular the upcoming releases and give the scheduled release dates.
