Here is a proposed release schedule for 0.19.0, the next major release of Bitcoin Core. Like for previous major releases I've aimed for a release 6 months after the last ( #14438).

2019-09-01 :heavy_check_mark: 
---------------
- Open Transifex translations for 0.19
- Soft translation string freeze (no large or unnecessary string changes until release)
- Finalize and close translations for 0.17

2019-09-15 :heavy_check_mark: 
---------------
- Feature freeze (bug fixes only until release)
- Translation string freeze (no more source language changes until release)

2019-10-01 :heavy_check_mark: 
---------------
- Split off `0.19` branch from `master`
- Start RC cycle, tag and release `0.19.0rc1`
- Start merging for 0.20 on master branch

2019-11-03 :heavy_check_mark:
---------------
- Release 0.19.0 final (aim)

If any specific dates or timeframes are a problem for you, let me know.

**Edit:** schedule was moved two months back on 2019-05-07, for reference, the old schedule was:
```
2019-11-01    Soft translation string freeze
2019-11-15    Feature freeze
2019-12-01    Split off 0.19 branch from master
2020-01-03    Release 0.19.0 final (aim)

walletInstance->WalletLogPrintf("Performing wallet upgrade to %i\n", FEATURE_LATEST);

            walletInstance->SetMinVersion(FEATURE_LATEST); 
        }
        else
            walletInstance->WalletLogPrintf("Allowing wallet upgrade up to %i\n", nMaxVersion);
        if (nMaxVersion < walletInstance->GetVersion())
        {
            chain.initError(_("Cannot downgrade wallet").translated);
            return nullptr;
        }
        walletInstance->SetMaxVersion(nMaxVersion);
    }
    
    if (gArgs.GetBoolArg("-upgradewallet", false)) {
        LOCK(walletInstance->cs_wallet);
        
        int max_version = walletInstance->GetVersion();
        if (!walletInstance->CanSupportFeature(FEATURE_HD_SPLIT) && max_version >= FEATURE_HD_SPLIT && max_version < FEATURE_PRE_SPLIT_KEYPOOL) {
            chain.initError(_("Cannot upgrade a non HD split wallet without upgrading to support pre split keypool. Please use -upgradewallet=169900 or -upgradewallet with no version specified.").translated);
            return nullptr;
        }
        bool hd_upgrade = false;
        bool split_upgrade = false;
        if (walletInstance->CanSupportFeature(FEATURE_HD) && !walletInstance->IsHDEnabled()) {
            walletInstance->WalletLogPrintf("Upgrading wallet to HD\n");
            walletInstance->SetMinVersion(FEATURE_HD);
            
            CPubKey masterPubKey = walletInstance->GenerateNewSeed();
            walletInstance->SetHDSeed(masterPubKey);
