Hi all, we released 0.26.0 five months ago. And we have no schedule for 0.28.0 (or i can't find no email discussing it).
This is something that has been happening repeateadly, we "forget" when the next feature release or we need to delay it because we only release it every so often and we *really* need a feature in. I'd like to propose a change from having bugfix releases every month and feature releases every ~6 months to just having a release every month. In that release we would introduce both bugfixes and features. We have been *very* good in the past with not introducing regressions thanks to running the regression suite, so i think this is a good thing since it makes it easier for our features to reach the users earlier (e.g. i have a feature in poppler-qt that need to be released to make okular faster). The downside is that some distros won't like it, but honestly those distros already don't update some of the minor releases because we do changes to our internal APIs so one can't fix distros. Given the manpower we have at the moment (i.e. very low) i think a monthly release (or maybe every two months) that contains both bugfixes and features is the best for us. Comments?
