Hello, Per Shai's previous note, we decided we wanted to work towards a 3.1 release (he mentioned a target date of march 1, don't think this will happen)
Despite this, I propose we do a 'casual freeze' on the 3.x code base in 7 days time, in other words we agree for a few weeks we will focus on bugs and tests only in branch_3x and try to shorten, not length the list of issues in JIRA (unless these issues are bugs!). The reason I say this, versus creating a release branch right now, is that I think we should take advantage of our stable branch (branch_3x) and avoid branching until the last minute: when we are ready to make an RC. I think any features/improvements that cannot be done in 7 days should really wait for 3.2 instead... and we shouldn't wait a year for that one to release either... we have a stable branch, lets take advantage of it. So, please let me know your opinions on this proposal, if there is consensus, then in 7 days I will move all non-bug/non-test 3.1 issues to 3.2. And of course, trunk would be unaffected by all of this... we should never freeze trunk. I would suggest we just delay backporting of new features developed in trunk during this process, keeping their jira issues open and set for Fix Version 3.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
