normally we do one bigger release per year and otherwise bugfix 
releases. That would mean normally we would plan to release 2.5.0 in 
early 2016, with several beta releases before... which we should 
probably start on soon. Bugfix releases, well we do them normally if one 
of 3 things happen: we got quite some issues resolved (50+), somebody 
asks for it or there was a longer period of time (like 3 months) without 
release

But frankly all these are open points right now, because this was what 
we did before moving to apache and with having several full time developers.

As for 2.5, why is it that you are asking for the release. What issue 
triggered that for you?
