[Wireshark-dev] 4.2.0 release schedule

2023-08-17 Thread Gerald Combs
Hi all, I'd like to start preparing for the creation of the release-4.2 branch and the 4.2.0 release. I've come up with the following tentative schedule, which will give us a couple of release candidates before SharkFest EU and a final release in November, after SharkFest: Aug 24 : Release 4.

Hi Gerald, Look good for the planned release I hope only to have time to integrate the support of HTTP3 headers (with nghttp3) -> https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/9330 Cheers On Thu, Aug 17, 2023 at 11:04 PM Gerald Combs wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd like to start preparing

Hi, In the last weeks I started using Wireshark more and noticed some crashes. I hope to be able to look into it over the next two weeks, and also address some QUIC issues. Not sure if I will be able to review the HTTP/3 changes in time. Do you think it is better to branch, and then cherry-pick,

Should 4.1 be developed on the release-4.2 branch already? Obviously it would require some backporting work from developers, but also provide some stability. Right now the 4.1 release is just a snapshot of master, so really 4.1.x micro versions are meaningless. There are some changes that migh

I have no objections to creating the 4.2 branch earlier. As you point out, it mostly comes down to how much backporting we want to do. The release numbers are a reflection of the fact that "run tools/make-version.py -v ..." is in the new release branch checklist. On 9/15/23 12:06 PM, João Valv

I would like that. We can be liberal backporting changes to the 4.1 release, but some care should be taken to avoid very big or risky changes. Then for the 4.2 release candidates, ideally only bugfixes would be backported. On 9/15/23 22:51, Gerald Combs wrote: I have no objections to creating

Hi, This starts to resemble the Linux kernel merge window challenges. There's always a tradeoff between ease of development vs. churn. Things do need to settle down before a branch can be made, that's what we're here for. Personally I'm in the process of finalizing a new dissector (for iperf3)

I'm not sure I follow. I don't know why things would settle down before a branch is made. That's exactly my point, the master branch should be unaffected by the release schedule IMO. Things settle down after the branch is created, not before. If the policy I outline before is followed there's

It doesn't look like I mentioned it below, but I plan on creating the release-4.2 branch this upcoming Monday, the 25th. At that point we'll have the following active branches and major+minor versions: master / 4.3 release-4.2 / 4.2 release-4.0 / 4.0 release-3.6 / 3.6 4.2.0rc1 is still schedul
