What do you see as the important reasons? I know the Apache mantra is to release early and often, but if it were up to me, we would release after we hit some interesting milestone, like getting Alina's app to compile completely, or someone else says they are ready to go to production and need a released version of Royale. There are some bugs blocking users that I would rather get done before releasing.

I think it’s pretty important to get this release out sooner rather than later. If you can help Piotr finish this release, I’ll try to do the 0.9.5 release.

IMO, you are getting the right results by running make_branches. Given the current state of the repo, running make_branches once will set the develop branch to 0.9.4-SNAPSHOT and the release branch to 0.9.3. That's because that's how Maven works. The current poms in develop are set to 0.9.3-SNAPSHOT. Maven removes the "SNAPSHOT" in the release branch and bumps the version in the develop branch. > > I think you can just run make_branches again and it should create a release branch with 0.9.4 and bump the develop branch to 0.9.5-SNAPSHOT.

So I would prefer to just get the repos ready so that you can try running the scripts. If there are important things you've learned that other RMs will need to know, please try to capture them in the wiki document. > > @Carlos, I have spent a lot of time trying to automate releasing. As Piotr said, skipping a version wasn't planned for and I hope it won't ever happen again. Unless you've actually looked at the scripts and read the wiki document and tried it, saying you think there are too many manual steps is not only wrong, but discouraging to those who have put effort into it. If you really think it needs to be better automated, then do it yourself. Don’t expect others to do things for you when you make negative comments about their work. I have other things I want to work on other than release automation. Release automation is only going to be "good enough" and always in need of improvement. We've only done two releases and we are still debugging the scripts.
