>From my understanding, there's not really a 'plan' but some intention to release a 6.7 at some time if enough people need it, right? In that case I wouldn't hold back anything for a 6x line release and cut the 7x, and 7.0 branches around, but not before the coming weekend. I will send out an email a day before cutting the branch, as well as once the branch is in place.
If anyone has any objections to that, do let me know. Once that happens, we'd have a feature freeze on the 7.0 branch but we can take our time to iron out the bugs. @Alan: Thanks for informing. I'll make sure that LUCENE-7877 is committed before I cut the branch. I have added the right fixVersion to the issue. -Anshum On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 8:33 AM Erick Erickson <[email protected]> wrote: > Anshum: > > I'm one of the people that expect a 6.7 release, but it's more along > the lines of setting expectations than having features I really want > to get in to the 6x code line.
