Old pull requests also undermine branch hygiene. Is an old pull request for master changed to a pull request for a stable branch when we make a new stable? I don't think so. Misinterpreted pull requests might end up merging across branches. Furthermore, single-use pull request branches should b

Niels, how much of the proposed API changes made it into gt-complex and gt-main? And the builders? Some of these changes were originally destined for gt-wfs-ng, so perhaps Gabriel can comment. Kind regards, Ben. On 21/07/13 20:53, Jody Garnett wrote: > I am sifting through the various proposal

Andrea do you have a blog post on the ft-transform, or NetCDF/ Coverage API work that I can link to? (I also note I am mixing up the format so we have an about 10.x series which can collect the change proposals and blog posts associated with the release) -- Jody Garnett On Monday, 22 July 2
