		+	OJS 3.0a and 3.0b will be used to perform UI/UX testing, acceptance testing, and other assessments, leading to a 3.0 release that will be remarkably different from the long-standing 2.x line. It will likely be launched without the full breadth of the 2.x feature set, with the remainder to be re-introduced in follow-up releases. Other functional enhancements are currently under consideration for inclusion in this release.

	Releases of OJS in the 2.4.x line will be made when necessary (e.g. based on security issues) or when desired (e.g. when enough minor fixes accumulate that the community will find them broadly useful). These releases are very limited in change scope to keep the testing and release processes to a minimum; for example, no translation updates are allowed for 2.4.x releases. The most important changes in each 2.4.x release are posted on the [http://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php/OJS_Recommended_Patches Recommended Patches] page.
