Review Release numbering Policy in light of dropping Quarterly releases
TC
This process was approved earlier this year. Now that the project has agreed to move to 3 releases per year the Q nomenclature in the release numbering doesn't make sense. What is the TC's recommendation for new numbering of maintenance releases?
WAS:
Release Numbering:
LTS Release numbering: YYYY-MM.S-LTS, where:
YYYY = Year
MM = Month
S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-MM tag
LTS = Long Term Support release
Quarterly Release numbering: YYYY-qN.S, where:
YYYY = Year
N = Which quarter during the year the release happens (1,2,3,4)
S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-qN tag
Flower names
When necessary/helpful flower names can be appended to the release number, i.e. 2020-q3.1 (Honeysuckle)
CHANGE TO:
Release Numbering:
LTS Release numbering: YYYY-MM.S-LTS, where:
YYYY = Year
MM = Month
S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-MM tag
LTS = Long Term Support release
Maintenance Release numbering: YYYY-N.S, where:
YYYY = Year
N = The Nth maintenance release that year (1,2,3,4)
S = sequence/number of releases with the YYYY-N tag
Flower names
When necessary/helpful flower names can be appended to the release number, i.e. 2020-q3.1 (Honeysuckle)
