The Evergreen community of users issues two software releases per year, in the spring and fall. The releases contain enhancements reviewed and tested by Evergreen users and are ultimately approved by the project’s core committers.
When the new releases are issued, NOBLE staff test the changed areas of the software, and key areas in general, to assure there are no issues that would hamper our libraries’ use of the software and to prepare updates for our members. Typically NOBLE loads new releases in January and the summer to allow for testing and documentation and to allow any bugs to be remedied.
