Yes. There were a number of important patches present in 1.x-branch that were not in 1.1.x-branch.
When I tried to merge 1.x-branch to 1.1.x-branch, I ran into unexpected conflicts. I thought about deleting 1.1.x-branch and recreating it, but decided against it, not wanting lose changes there that we might want to keep in case we wanted to revisit the contents of that branch. In the end I decided to cut the release from 1.x-branch. Jungtaek, I believe you created 1.1.x-branch… Do you know why/how it diverged? -Taylor > On Jul 25, 2017, at 12:08 PM, Stig Rohde Døssing <stigdoess...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Is it on purpose that this is cut from 1.x-branch and not 1.1.x-branch? > > 2017-07-25 17:09 GMT+02:00 P.
