We generally do a round of stable-branches close to each GNOME release and recommend them for use by distributions that sync up with GNOME (mainly Ubuntu and Fedora). It's about time we did that again.
Mission Control =============== Empathy wants 5.13.x (at least for optional features - Ubuntu Online Accounts integration) so we should branch 5.14. The upcoming Ubuntu and Fedora releases have 5.13, anyway. I'd like to get https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42088 landed before releasing 5.14.0, so we can delete gnome-keyring support in 5.15 without leaving people's old passwords lying around. I think my recent account storage yak-shaving (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54870 and so on; 62 commits) has missed the boat for 5.14, and should not go in until 5.15. If we're happy to carry around an extra 50-100 lines of code in 5.15 (to read from more past locations), we could merge https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35896 (already reviewed) to put Mission Control accounts in XDG_DATA_DIRS. Or, we could skip this for 5.14 and proceed directly to a more sensible storage format in 5.15, when my 62-commit megabranch has been merged. Thoughts? telepathy-glib ============== We'll need a telepathy-glib 0.20 so MC 5.14 and Empathy 3.6 can depend on it. I don't think there's anything new that particularly needs merging. Connection managers =================== Is there anything compelling in connection managers that means we desperately need to stable-branch again, or are we OK with keeping the versions from GNOME 3.4 as recommended by 3.6 too? Ubuntu and Fedora are still on Gabble 0.16, so they obviously don't see anything particularly vital about 0.17. One possible exception is telepathy-rakia, which is still at 0.7.4 (last stable-branch was mid 2010). telepathy-idle has never had a stable branch, but it's far from clear that it has ever been stable, so, whatever. :-) Logger ====== telepathy-logger 0.4.0 seems to be what everyone is using. Farstream ========= telepathy-farstream 0.4.0 is still current for everyone who uses Farstream 0.1 and GStreamer 0.x. Do we want a 0.6.0 for use in conjunction with Farstream 0.2 and GStreamer 1.0, or are we just going to recommend 0.5.0 for those who live on the edge?
