Re: [Qgis-developer] Are we doing a 2.18 release

[Matthias Kuhn]

There's a consistent stream of commits going into 2.14

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commits/release-2_14

But any heads up on forgotten backports are appreciated.

And yes, it is a complex situation :)

Thanks a lot Matthias and Jürgen for your answer. We should then make sure
bugfixes are backported into 2.14 (no example in mind, just a thought in
this complex context of 2 masters and multiple versions to handle for devs).

No, 2.14 is the LTR.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Are we doing a 2.18 release

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Michaël,

At the moment 2.14 is LTR (you probably know ;) ) and I would dissuade
from declaring another one. Here is the reason:

At least I would strongly suggest we deal with 2.18 as the latest
release in the 2.x series. But we don't know for sure, suddenly a 2.20
might pop up for whatever reason (fingers crossed there's none!)

We will continue to backport fixes to the current latest 2.x branch
(2.16 now, 2.18 soon), so at any point in time when we spot 3.0 arrival
we can declare the latest release (again, hopefully 2.18 :) ) at that
time to be LTR.

2.14 is still young. LTR was introduced for stability and infrequent
updates.

Still, this has also been discussed at a recent meeting with some people
from the Swiss User Group. Just so you know you are not alone.
I actually welcome it when (organisation) users discuss these kind of
things because LTR was introduced for them by the project. Turning this
thing around and having organisations as a solid base for the LTR (and
offer targetted funding for this) gives the LTR much more sustainability
and credibility.
I would greatly appreciate a group of (non-developer) organisation
representatives strengthening the LTR idea!

Best
Matthias

Re: [Qgis-developer] Are we doing a 2.18 release

[kimaidou]

Hi,

A big other question: will this release be a LTR ? I am sorry to reopen
Pandora box, but this is a question often asked by users during courses.
They would prefer to have the last 2.* as LTR, before the big changes, in
order to keep their plugins and projects "safe" before 3.0.
Or perhaps it is too soon, as we do not know yet if there will be a 2.20 ?

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Nathan, 

Yes - in Bonn it was decided to do a 2.18 release. 

There are a number of new features in master 2. 

The plan is also to have 2.18.x releases which will add DXF/DWG CAD
import support and Geopackage improvements (through OGR). Jürgen and
Evan will work on these. Both of these features couldn't make it into
2.17.

Hi all,

Are we doing a 2.18 release.  Seems we are in freeze but I wasn't sure we
were doing the release to start with.
