I think the idea is that 6.5 is considered close enough (and with
September 18th looming large on the horizon) that they've branched 6.5
off to only receive bug fixes. I would expect most or all of those bug
fixes to also be posted to the 7.0 trunk, but I'd also watch the Slim
Checkins list very carefully for the bombs that will be dropped there.
I'm a little surprised at the jump to 7.0 myself, since the Software
Roadmap (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SoftwareRoadmap) shows
some "Post 6.5 (But pre 7.0)" goals. I would have thought that meant
the release of a SlimServer 6.6 almost by definition.
Generally speaking, you branch off the next major dev branch _before_
you branch off the next minor point release. That way, today, new major
functionality that's too big for 6.5 can get started in the 7.0 branch,
but bug fixes and small stuff will still go in 6.5. Later, when 6.5 is
closer to release, a new 6.6 branch will be created for small features
and bug fixes, and only the most critical fixes will go in the 6.5 branch.
It's not that different from when the 6.3 branch was created months
after 6.5 work was well underway.
