Hi all,
as discussed at the last summit, we’re proposing a change to branch management,
to hopefully improve on both quality/stability as well as better release
management. The big change is that we will no longer propose and cherry-pick
PRs from master branch to the release branch. Rather, we will cut every major
and minor branch straight off of the master branch! This has two big
implications:
1. Master branch must always be backwards compatible with the previous major
release. Any incompatible PRs must be made against the (new) 11-Dev branch, and
you must label the PR as “Incompatible”. The milestone for these PRs must be
11.0.0 as of now.
2. You no longer have to mark PRs with Projects, *unless* they are going to a
previous LTS release for a patch release. The default Milestone must always be
the next minor release. We will take all changes wholesale going forward!
I’ve tried to document this at
https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/release-notes/roadmap.en.html
The trickiest part here is the Milestone, but it’s really important that you
mark all PRs correctly. When reviewing / merging someone elses PR, please make
sure the Milestone is correct as well!
Cheers,
