## Schedule
There is no specific schedule for when releases are made.
Usually it's more along the lines of "enough minor changes have been merged",
or "there's a known issue the maintainers know should get fixed".
If you find a fix has been merged for an issue important to you, but hasn't been
released after a week or so, feel free to [contact] us to request a new release.
### Release Freezes {#freeze}
We try to observe a regular schedule for when **not** to release.
If something goes wrong, staff need to be active in order to respond quickly &
effectively.
We also don't want to disrupt non-Google organizations if possible.
We generally follow the rules:
* Release during Mon - Thu, 9:00 - 14:00 [US PT]
* Avoid holidays
* All regular [US holidays]
* Large international ones if possible
* All the various [New Years]
* Jan 1 in Gregorian calendar is the most obvious
* Check for large Lunar New Years too
* Follow the normal [Google production freeze schedule]
