I agree that it's time to release 1.3.9.
Great. Then I'll try to get the first release candidate ready within the
next few days.
I had a quick look at the packaging script and it looks like it should
work fine for the branch. However the tag script is gone so I'll have to
grab an old version and see if I can get it working for the branch.
6) Next 1.3 version after 1.3.9 will be 1.4.0 even though it's delivered
from the 1.3 branch. Next trunk release will use 1.5.0.
I like this the most. We bump trunk to 1.5.0 and hope that we don't
have to release any more version from the 1.3-branch. But if we have
to, we'll call it 1.4.0.
I agree, neither of the solutions are perfect but this probably has the
smallest negative effects so I'll update trac and trunk to use 1.5.0.
I think we should try to release trunk earlier. It doesn't have to be
perfect as long as it doesn't break stuff that worked in previous
releases. And I think it is very important to release often to get
people to actually use it and it makes the project look alive.
Of course we shouldn't wait too long. But I would like to at least get
rid of all the old include/licq_*.h files before we release.
However I don't expect ICQ to be a separate plugin in 1.5.0 that will
have to come later on. (Although I'm trying to remove as much as
possible of the ICQ stuff from the plugin API as a preparation.)
But due to the amount of changes in trunk, I think it might be good to
release a stable 1.3 version just before 1.5.0. This means that
corrections done after 1.3.9 will be available even if the first 1.5
version is a bit shaky and users fall back to the 1.3 version instead.
However I don't expect a lot more to happen in the 1.3 branch so there
might not be anything worth releasing, so let's see when 1.5.0 is about
to be released if there is anything to discuss about 1.3.
