<br>
We stick to the original plan, release 2.14 as LTR. It's a bit short to<br>
change plans, especially if it has been communicated to clients (I'm<br>
sure René-Luc D'Hont is not the only one). Let's increase the trust into<br>
our roadmaps.<br>
<br>
We make another 2.16 release so we can provide customers with promised<br>
development in a reasonable time. Plus we can start to collect<br>
experience with py3, pyqt5 (I started to roll the drums for it. The<br>
argument "if we don't do a hard break nobody does anything" no longer<br>
counts, sorry ;) ).<br>
<br>
At the moment we have two versions which we feed with patches: 2.12 and<br>
2.8 (besides master). Then it will be 2.16 and 2.14 (besides<br>
to-become-3.0-master). No difference really.<br>
As a user you can play it safe and go for 2.14, you can play it fancy<br>
and go 2.16. Or you can use the 2.16 release to start porting your<br>
plugins, to provide feedback for the migration...<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
PS:<br>
The alternative is, we end up with a broken master in 3 weeks, no ported<br>
core plugins, no other plugins for it, no working unit tests, no roadmap<br>
for plugin developers which version to target and a lot of them only<br>
working on either the 2.x or the 3.x version of their plugin and we have<br>
unhappy customers because they have to wait a long time before they get<br>
their features (which they ordered and have been offered due to lack of<br>
a proper roadmap).<br>
<br>
Please, show some love and vote for a smooth migration path :)<br>
