Hello all, It recently came to the attention to some of us that with the increasing number of projects we have it can be hard to follow when packages are going to be released, which often leads to very short windows of time to give feedback or test the new version with existing software.
For example, several developers were surprised yesterday with the announcement of an upcoming notebook 5.0 release, and are now struggling to catch up on what is new and to test their plugins/extensions. There are likely others in the community who did not realize the 5.0 release was so close, who would need some time to test their extensions/plugins and give feedback. How would the team and everyone else feel if we encouraged Jupyter projects to open an issue when a major release started to take shape which clearly listed the planned schedule for the release and highlighted what was new in the release? The upcoming release and this issue would be announced on the mailing list. People interested in following the release updates could subscribe to this issue. That would be of course on a per-project/per-maintainer basis, but the project would try to encourage it for major releases, or maybe even minor releases. Thanks, -- Matthias, with the help of Jamie, Jason, Brian and Fernando. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
