Changes to release schedule.
Written for GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain by Tejas Belagod on 2017-11-02
In an effort to provide longer term and a more stable release schedule we have decided to update the release schedule from quarterly to half-yearly. This means there will be one major release at Q4 and an update release at Q2. We believe this will also help the community with having to absorb fewer updates throughout the year. If you have any questions or comments please use the QnA forum here.
