Leap 15.2 Enters Beta Builds Phase
openSUSE Leap 15.2 entered the Beta phase last week and has already released two snapshots with the release of build 581.2 and build 588.2. Leap has a rolling development model until it’s final build, so multiple builds will be released according to the road map until the gold master is released, which is scheduled for May 7.
There are no concrete milestones in the rolling development model. As bugs are fixed and new packages introduced or excluded, snapshots of the latest beta phase builds will be released once they pass openQA testing.
After the gold master is released, the rolling development model will stop and maintenance and security updates will then be released for the new minor version of the Leap 15 series.
The alpha phase has been ongoing for several months now and builds have been released regularly on a rolling basis. The alpha was stable enough to use for demos at FOSDEM, but testing is still needed.
Distro hoppers, hobbyists, users and tech enthusiast can download the current builds and help test the releases at software.opensuse.org/distributions/testing.
