### Description Following the [VOTE] "Version naming: drop the "4." prefix starting with release 24" on [email protected], started on 14 August 2026 and closed on 21 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, the release that would have been 4.24 is released as 24, i.e. 24.0.0. Subsequent feature releases become 25, 26, and so on, and maintenance releases on the 24 branch become 24.1.0, 24.2.0, and so on. The vote passed by lazy majority with 4 binding +1 votes (Wido den Hollander, Daan Hoogland, Kiran Chavala, Vishesh Jindal), 1 non-binding +1 (Simon Weller), 1 +0 (Abhishek) and 1 -1 (Joao Jandre Paraquetti). This changes the version only, touching the same files that tools/build/setnextversion.sh does: * <version> in all pom.xml files * debian/changelog * tools/marvin/setup.py * tools/docker/Dockerfile, Dockerfile.marvin and Dockerfile.s390x The leading "4." has not carried any meaning for many years. Dropping it does not affect the release cadence, the LTS policy, the branching and release process or the backwards-compatibility guarantees, and it is not a signal that 24 breaks APIs or introduces disruptive changes. org.apache.cloudstack.utils.CloudStackVersion already parses and compares both three and four position versions, normalising 24.0.0 to 24.0.0.0, so 24.0.0 still compares greater than 4.23.0.0.
