So it has seemed to me that 6.4.3 is the place where we were supposed to be testing any enhancements and bug fixes before doing an even numbered 'stable' release. So I too have remained confused about why we needed a testing/development version 6.5 that fed into a testing/development version 6.4.3, that fed into a final stable release (6.4 on the way). But maybe I misunderstand this workflow and someone can explain it to me.<div><br></div><div>But that can be all moot now that we are moving towards a 6.4.4 release. </div><div><br></div><div>Why don't we:</div><div><br></div><div>1) freeze (really freeze this time) 6.x for new features after the 6.4.4 release</div><div>2) keep 6.5 for bug fixes (bug fixes only, no enhancements, no backports of new features) to the 6.x line</div><div>3) start a 7.0 release branch and a 7.1 dev branch so that we can begin to move toward a GRASS 7 release</div><div><br></div><div>How does this sound???</div><div><br></div><div>Michael</div><div><br><div>
