I hope to get many more done.
Hi Da...Thanks Lukas! I hope to get many more done.<br /><br />Hi Daniel,<br />Best place to ask the question should be at dev.planning but le me give it a shot.<br /><br />I assume that the fixes included in 3.0 and 3.5 were not major security fixes but minors fixes. We don't do minor releases *only* to fix major security fixes.<br />At some point later on, 3.5 and 3.6 will be synced (it will for sure be synced upon the appearance of major security bug).<br /><br />We have minor releases around every 6 to 8 weeks (where we include minor fixes) or when we determine that a new discovered vulnerability can be serious enough.<br /><br />This answer comes from not being a release driver. For a more accurate answer you might want to visit the dev.planning newsgroup.armenzghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276390189080271638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-4288022198225470822010-02-20T12:55:49.922-05:002010-02-20T12:55:49.922-05:00Chris: Thanks, but when I asked about 3.6 I meant ...Chris: Thanks, but when I asked about 3.6 I meant why were there simultaneous releases for the 3.0 and 3.5 branches but not for 3.6? Are none of the bugs fixed in 3.0.18 and 3.5.8 present in 3.6.0?Daniel Caterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533214394253521135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-46233991197495229122010-02-19T16:04:52.610-05:002010-02-19T16:04:52.610-05:00Congrats on doing your first start-to-finish relea...Congrats on doing your first start-to-finish release Armen.

Sometime very soon though, the only updates those users will get will be so-called Major update offers to the latest supported version (3.6).<br /><br />As to updates from the 3.5 branch to 3.6, those updates exist but are currently unprompted, meaning we don't pop up an update notice for 3.6 unless you actively check for updates from the menu.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435337200968145036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-86869715696413176972010-02-18T20:21:15.300-05:002010-02-18T20:21:15.300-05:00Why was there a 3.0 update when updates were suppo...Why was there a 3.0 update when updates were supposed to stop last month?
