M1 Commonalities & ICM (Nov 30)
Cut-off date for features to be included in the scope of Spring26
Commonalities Spring26 scope issue: Scope of the Spring release #543
Commonalities will skip the M1 alpha release - API teams can check the Commonalities milestones for status.
ICM Spring26 scope issue: ICM scope for the Spring26 meta-release #311
M1 APIs (Dec 15 - Spring26 is not recommended for APIs)
Requests for Spring26 participation are to be done through a GitHub issue in Release Management
@Tanja de Groot send email to codeowners list indicating that there should be an important reason for the release in Spring26, like late drop out from Fall25 or updated initial APIs that did not target Fall25, or initial APIs that can meet the steep timeline of Spring26, or initial APIs from previous meta-release(s) that have urgent feature update request.
release can be done at any time
M2
Target date is Jan 31, 2026 for the release-candidate of Commonalities & ICM.
M3
Due on Jan 31, 2026 for Spring APIs that have been granted participation.
