Hi Roald, the only worry I have about this approach is a limit of resources. OL is not running on a lot of developer time lately.
So I would limit the 2.X branch to only regressions that come up, and not backport every bugfix to 2.X. Thanks for bringing up a good discussion point. I am also interested to hear the opinion of others on this. Best regards, Bart > Hi, > > FWIW: I'd be happy for OL to move to a 3.0 release at some stage.
