I would wait until 6.4 feature freeze before branching off a releasebranch_6_4 and setting the version to 6.5.svn. Otherwise there is lots of backporting and double handling to do. Especially with whatever GRASS 7(trunk) fore-porting there is to be done. or is the time right to declare GRASS 6 feature-frozen for all but wx and winGRASS development? Perhaps wait a week or two anyway before branching off _6_4 from _6, to let us finish with 6.3.0 business and catch up to our thoughts. > Trunk becomes 7.0svn. that is my understanding of the plan, http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7Planning http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_7_ideas_collection Paul: > It is all a bit confusing though since we've started partially > abandoning the odd-development/stable-release system. AFAIK we haven't abandoned that at all. It's just that we happened to make 6.3.0 a really nice and usable beta since no new features [well, few] have gone into the stable branch since 6.2 was branched off HEAD in August 2006. -or- I see no reason to abandon that. Both odd and even numbers are free and it gives us some room to play with semi-stable releases like 6.3.0.
