* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Cloph/Xisco)
+ 7.6 status: feature freeze in 1 week + beta 1 / feature freeze
+ rc 1 will be in 5 weeks / string / UI freeze
+ bring up late features if they won't make that date!
+ pin items on the start center (Heiko)
+ gerrit change: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/152136
+ 7.5 status: 7.5.4 rc2 this week, has been tagged yesterday
+ marketing clarified that the next version number is 24.2 (or
2024.2) (Justin)
+ "The one that fits best development: 24.2 or 2024.2 are the
same for marketing"
-suggest NOT 2024.2 (either 2024.02 or 24.(0)2 (date-hints are
always 2 digit)
-suggest 24.2.0 - 24.2.7 as first stated/hinted at by marketing
(Justin)
-safe: no need to require LO or external scripts to handle
zero-padded versions.
- concerned about dropping "20" from the "2024" (Stephan)
- jumping from 99 is 2100 would be a possibility
- 2024.2 is easier to recognize (Heiko)
- 24 internally, 2024 externally? (Hossein)
- important point: date-based (Cloph)
- wonder if it'll be always releasing in February / August (Xisco)
- don't think it'll be that confusing (Cloph)
- the version label will reflect the change, if needed
- main reason is to avoid finding arguments for version bump,
made up, after the fact
- was it considered to just always increment the major version
like Firefox / Chrome does it? (Khaled)
- would avoid completely switching
- was considered, but rejected: would not provide any benefit
compared to randomly bumping the major version (Cloph)
- just increasing major version would also follow some
projects (Michael S)
- difference vs Firefox / Chrome (Thorsten)
- nobody cares about the version anymore, due to auto-update
- technically, 2024.2 is possible? (Hossein)
- 2024.1, 2024.a or .b?
- 2024 would be possible, but would prefer 24 (Cloph)
- letters are harder (think of app stores)
- not great to use different internal / external versions
- x.y as major had the opportunity to make big noise about a
release (Olivier)
=> go with 24.2 / 24.8 (all)
AI: get back to Italo with this (Justin)
