Here is a proposed release schedule for 25.0, the next major release of Bitcoin Core. I've aimed for a release 7 months [1] after the (planned) release of the last (#24987).

[1] Usually it would be 6 months, but due to delays in the previous release, there is one additional month this time.

2023-03-01 ✔️

• Open Transifex translations for 25.0
• Soft translation string freeze (no large or non-critical string changes until release)
• Finalize and close translations for 23.0

2023-04-01 ✔️

• Feature freeze (bug fixes only until release)
• Translation string freeze (no more source language changes until release)

2023-04-14 ✔️

• Anything needed before branch-off, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md
• Split off 25.x branch from master
• Start RC cycle, tag and release 25.0rc1
• Start merging for 26.x on master branch

2023-05-25 ✔️

• Release 25.0 (aim)
