<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi !<br><br></div>Thank you very much Alessio for the clarifications, it's very helpful.<br><br>Could expand a little on the branches description by explaining the policy for each branch (including the 2.6.x branch) :<br><br></div><div>- what is accepted in the branch (breaking changes, new features, bugfixes only, nothing...)<br></div><div>- ETA and/or conditions for release<br></div><div>- expected lifetime after which the branch won't have new releases<br></div></div><br><div><div>Compared to semantic versioning (major.minor.patch, corresponding to breaking-changes/non-breaking-changes/bugfixes), I think currently use an additional top level but without no patch level
(complete-rewrites.major.minor).<br><br>
This is a bit hard to work with if you need stable branches. For example, if you're using 2.8.0 and need the bugfixes, you'll
have to wait for 2.8.1, but it will also include new features (and hence new
bugs, database migrations, etc...).<br><br></div><div>I suggest adding a new version level for patch versions, so that we have actually stable branches. This clearly represents a little bit additional work, but I believe if policies are very clear, the community would be able to do the
work of backporting the bugfixes they need if they know there's going to
be a release soon. Also we can do that only for a few select branches (that are LTS).<br>
<div><br></div><div>Note that I don't say we should do strict semantic versioning (maybe a bit difficult), my main concern is separating new features and bug fixes.<br></div></div><div><br>
<div><br></div><div>And by the way, if 2.7.x is the release candidate for 2.8.1,
can't we just call it 2.8.x ? (kind of counter intuitive to have 2.7.x
ahead of 2.8.0) </div>
<br><br></div><div>Thanks for the great work !!<br><br></div><div>Olivier<br></div><div><br></div><br><div><br><br><br></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 11:15 PM, Alessio Fabiani <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alessio.fabiani@geo-solutions.it" target="_blank">alessio.fabiani@geo-solutions.it</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all, please read carefully here below.</div><div><br></div><div>You can find here the list and status of GeoNode GitHub current branched updated @ 23rd April 2018</div><div><br></div><div><b>2.8.0</b></div><div>====</div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><a href="https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/tree/2.8.0" target="_blank">https://github.com/GeoNode/<wbr>geonode/tree/2.8.0</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>- Based on Django 1.8.19 and Celery 4.1.0</div><div>- Compatible with Ubuntu 16.0.4 and CentOS 7 (the only ones officially tested currently)</div><div><br></div><div><b>NOTES:</b> This branch is frozen and contains everything until latest stable GeoNode release 2.8.0.
