The FAQ says that there are usually several long-term support releases a year.
What determines when an LTS is released and when would there be another one
taking the place of 2.3.0?
The LTS releases happen as critical bug fixes are fixed or every few months
otherwise. We're going to try to introduce more regularity with a new QA
process that is in the early planning stages.
So, I think you this means 2.3.1 might be released as bug fixes require
or possibly in a few months as a mechanism to release a collection of
non-critical bug fixes?
As for when new LTS branches are chosen, that's less predictable. In the past
we tried to do them roughly once a year, but we made so many fundamental
architectural changes between 1.10 and 2.2 that we deliberately locked 1.9 as
the LTS until 2.3. I don't expect that we'll need to do that again, so there
should be a more regular cadence between LTSs.
And this means a new branch, say 2.4 maybe, would possibly be released
in about a year?
Did I get this right?
Thanks.
