LLVM 19 Release Schedule and Planning

Hello everyone!

Summer is here, and it’s soon time to start thinking about the next LLVM release! I will be in the driver’s seat this time.

Here are the important dates coming up:

  • 23rd of July - Branching from main to release/19.x
  • 26th of July - 19.1.0-rc1 will be released
  • 6th of August - 19.1.0-rc2 will be released
  • 20th of August - 19.1.0-rc3 will be released
  • 3rd of September - 19.1.0-final will be released

Note that these dates can shift depending on the number of issues found in the RC phase. We have previously inserted a 4th RC when there were a lot of outstanding bugs.

If you have features that are in flight, it is time to start wrapping them up if you want them to be included in LLVM 19.

For more information about the schedule and the release process, see our official documentation.

As a reminder, LLVM 19 will handle binary releases a bit differently. This was discussed in the following RFC. I expect there to be some problems while we roll this out, but hopefully, it will stabilize during the RC phase.

Enjoy your summer, and thanks for contributing to LLVM and our release process!
