We now live in a semver world and we need to agree on some basics: how we are going to maintain and release our software.
>From what I have heard from several folks in jira, mail, IRC and direct communication is that we have basically 2 camps: A. develop and release bug fixes until we we start developing for minor/major releases 6.1 (and 7.0). versus B. develop and release minor releases, only backporting critical bugs and releasing bug fix releases in case of critical bugs As we are following semver, both are valid strategies. Option A would require separate branches for 6.0.z, and 6.y Option B would require only branches 6.y.z when critical bugs are found—which should be rare. Option A would probably result in some releases like: - 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3, 6.1.0, 6.0.4, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.0.5, 6.2.0, 6.1.4 Whereas option B should result in releases like: - 6.1.0, 6.2.0, 6.3.0, 6.3.1, 6.4.0, 6.5.0, 6.4.1 What do you think?
