Re: [DISCUSSION] When should we branch 4.0 and unfreeze trunk?

It does not seem that anybody has any concern with branching and lifting the freeze after 4.0-RC is released. I will take care of it once RC is released. Do not hesitate to raise your voice if you have some concerns. :-) On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 4:37 PM Benjamin Lerer wrote: > Thanks for your

Thanks for your answers. I agree to this proposal but I'm suggesting we close and codify the release > cadence discussion from [1] before we lift the freeze, and maybe kick off > the roadmap discussion but we probably shouldn't block the unfreeze on > this. > Sorry, for not closing the release

(mostly reiterating) +1 to branching and unfreezing trunk, and to codifying the release cadence. Excited about the 4.0 rc! and looking forward to the roadmap discussion!! On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 8:18 AM Paulo Motta wrote: > > My thinking was talking about when to lift the freeze was moot if we

The current "Release Lifecycle" wiki doc speaks to when we branch: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Release+Lifecycle Specifically under "General Availability (GA)": - A new branch is created for the release with the new major version, limiting any new feature addition

I agree we should start considering branching 4.0 and unfreezing soon, but before I think we should: - Close the loop on the agreed points of the "releases after 4.0" [1] and "project roadmap" [2] threads and document the new release guidelines post-4.0 so we have a good starting point. - Revisit

Hi Benjamin, Thanks for bringing it up. I support the idea. I saw more activity from new contributors lately, also Google Summer of Code is around the corner. Plus I feel it gives a very positive signal about the state of the project. The amount of tickets before GA is really quite low. CI is

2021-03-25 Thread Benjamin Lerer
Hi everybody, We are now extremely close to releasing 4.0-RC, the number of tickets left in the 4.0-GA scope is 20 and only 3 of them are not assigned yet. By consequence, I was wondering if it would make sense to create a 4.0 branch and unfreeze trunk when we release RC. The advantages I see
