I've already push Bill's mbedTLS NTLM addition and I'm hoping to get Sergei's LDAP change pushed this weekend (although I might to step up and finish the documentation side off!). Is this enough for a major bump as I probably need to quote version numbers in the docs for LDAP?
Is it? I'll admit I haven't really followed the details of the LDAP changes but I've not seen anything there that isn't just bugfixes. Am I wrong?
I've also been wondering about this process... I know we have our 8 week release cycle but when a patch release eats into this, I would rather reset the 8 week cycle so it starts in full from that patch release date
There are several ways we could do it. We don't do patch release out of the ordinary schedule that often so we haven't made any formal decisions on how to handle it. This time, I figured we could do it this way since we have so many bugs to work on anyway so it would be a general benefit to have a "round" where we have less time for features and more time for bugs. That. and the fact that I wasn't aware of any major changes knocking on the door longing to get in.
I appreciate it means updating the calendar and it means you can't guarantee a release on say 22 February 2017, but I would be interested to know what others think as it would allow more time to get features in. From a totally selfish point of view, as I am struggling to dedicate time to curl at the moment, it would certainly help me ;-)
Right, but if you wouldn't manage to reach a mergable state for the change within this week final, there is only another four weeks until the feature window opens again and there's another opportunity. I don't think it should be much of a burden for people as long as we open up for features again soon enough.
An alternative would of course be to make patch releases in a separate branch so that we can do feature merges in the branch heading for the next minor release but I would prefer to avoid such a setup as it would make it more complicated to test and for us to keep track of.
So, do you or anyone else want another week for adding features until we close that for the next release?
