I am considering to release v5.0.8 to mark the
end of official
maintenance for branch 5.0 on Thursday, April 4. If no major regression
will be introduced, this will be the last release from branch 5.0.
Afterwards, the stable branches maintained will be 5.1 and 5.2.
In case you have in mind some specific commits that should get into 5.0
branch, then reply and list them to be sure they are not missed.
Hi Daniel,
I thought 5.0 is already end of life, I only backported relevant fixes to
the last two current stable branches (5.1 and 5.2). This was at least my
understanding of our policy.
5.0.7 was released almost 10 month ago, the last commit on 5.0 branch was
end of 2018.
when a branch goes out of official maintenance time frame, we make a
last release from that branch to mark it explicitly (after the release
of a newer branch is done).
Hi Daniel,
yes, I have read the IRC discussion from the last devel meeting about this
topic. We could probably document it a bit more, I found only some summary on
the old wiki about that policy.
The release of 5.2.x made 5.0 "ready" for
end of maintenance, but we
didn't get the time to do the last 5.0.x. So, while is indeed somehow
late, it has to be done.
On the other hand, lately each of these stable series got like 2 years
of maintenance, see also the discussion minutes on wiki from the last
IRC devel meeting. However, the last release in a stable branch was more
just a packaging from what that branch was at that moment, with just
critical issues backported, no much efforts put in it, because everyone
is advise to upgrade, being EoL anyhow.
Specifically in this case, branch 5.0 has 44 commits pushed since
release of 5.0.7, so doing the 5.0.8 should at least catch those.
Tomorrow I will do a review and see what else worth pushing there.
I will have also a look, there are a few patches that are more important then
others and I will try to cherry-pick those into 5.0.
Cheers,
Henning
