<li class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="">Continuous integration (Travis) - tests for both "Python2/PyQT4" as well as "Python 3/PyQT5".</span></li>

<li class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="">Plugin migration tool - extension of the 2to3 Python upgrade tool with QGIS-specific "fixers" (extensions)</span></li>
<li class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="">Updates of plugin manager, Python console, Python unit tests and processing to support both Python 2 and Python 3</span></li>
</ul><p class="">His enhancements should be first introcuded in the 2x code base and will allow plugin authors to start supporting both Python 2 and Python 3 in the 2x branch, and then later in the 3x branch.</p><p class="">It is therefore useful to start the 3.0 branch after 2.16.</p><p class="">In addition there is a lot of short-term polishing work planned in the 2x branchs (relations, transactions, forms, attribute-table, multi-edit, DXF, etc.). Branching now would result in extra/unneccesary porting work between the two branches. This is another reason why Matthias/Nyall suggested to branch after 2.16.</p><p class="">Matthias is on holidays this week and probably can't answer - that's why I answer on his behalf.</p><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Thanks Andreas - I’ll just paraphrase the above as another note in the article - should make things a bit clearer!</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Tim</div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif" class=""><p class="">Andreas</p><p class="">On 2016-02-08 10:47, Tim Sutton wrote:</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Yes except I think Matthias wanted the 2.16 release (with its wrappers etc.) to for the basis for 3.0. If that isnt important then no problem from me to branch now already.</div>
