+1.

The AOO42X branch is quite old. Development only really happens on trunk.
The best maintained branch is trunk, and any branches should be as close to
trunk as possible.
Trunk is an unstable branch.
That is the nature of Trunk ;)
Everything we want to have in AOO42X (which was branched from trunk some
years ago) should have been cherry-picked early.
Do you mean that all patches/fixes in 42X are in Trunk also?
Trunk has all patches, AOO42X only those that were cherry-picked from trunk.
Therefore there would not be a problem in deleting the current branch 42X and 
start a new one?
This would make sense because Damjan mentioned that many relevant fixes in 
trunk are not included in 42X

If he didn't cherry-pick them (for a reason?) they are not included.


Also why is the next release 4.2.x? Haven't we made enough changes for
5.0.x? If not, what should be in 5.0.x?
It is quite hypothetical to discuss about versions we are NOT capable to
release.
It is. But Damjan's question is still valid? What would be the change needed to 
consider this 5.0? I would say that having a Winx64 would be such a condition. 
As it is, I still see this as 42X

For AOO 5.0 I would expect at least that we support ODF 1.3.

A Win64 build would be great for AOO 4.5.0.

But again, we are not able to do a release, we should work on that problem first.

The next version we CAN release is 4.1.16 (AOO41X).
That is true!

If we become able to do a release for a newer branch (AOO42X), we should
simply release what we have...
Exactly, but including all valid updates that have been added to trunk but not 
cherry picked to 42X

If they were not cherry-picked I would expect there was a reason for it?

Best,
Pedro
