I've already cut branch-3, which is on this commit d539917514cd87fcf67cc28648cec004e91d9d85
The next 3.x release 3.0.0-beta-1 will be released on branch-3. And on setting fix versions: 1. If a patch will be applied to both master and branch-3, you just need to set its fix versions to 3.0.0-beta-1(or 3.0.0-beta-2 if beta-1 has been released out, etc). 2. If a patch will only be applied to master, you need to set its fix versions to 4.0.0-alpha-1. 3. After the final 3.0.0 release is out, all patches which go into master need to have a 4.0.0-alpha-1 fix version. Thanks.
