With the past talk of quarterly releases of Slicer stable, is that still the plan moving forward with Slicer 5?

Slicer 5.0.2 packages were uploaded and available for download at [https://download.slicer.org/](https://download.slicer.org/) starting around May 20th [[source](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/release-of-slicer-5-0-in-progress-regular-builds-are-disabled/23187/8)]. Downloads of the Slicer stable have been fairly consistent since this date. With May 20th being the first public release of Slicer 5.0, a quarterly release would indicate a schedule of around August 20th for the next stable release (Slicer 5.2).

Is Slicer 5.2 expected to come out here in a couple weeks then?

That is still the plan moving forward. I am planning to give a bit more breathing room since finishing the 5.0 marathon, and having 5.2 in September, and starting the quarterly schedule from there
