From 8264c70e0b5810f3541839f64219a2f4a8bf08d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 18:34:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Bump release to 2.0.0 and document release schedule & versioning This bumps the release number of 2.0.0, to reflect the switch to a new time based release versioning scheme. The downloads page is updated to describe our policies for release schedules and release version numbering The stable release docs are changed to reflect the fact that the stable version numbers are now just 3 digits long instead of 4.

    Primary release schedule

    + +

    + Libvirt follows a time based plan, with releases made once a month + on the 1st of each month give or take a few days. The only exception + is at the start of the year where there are two 6 weeks gaps, giving + a total of 11 releases a year. Expect to see releases on approx: +

    Release numbering

    + +

    + Since libvirt 2.0.0, a time based version numbering rule + is applied. As such, the changes in version number have + do not have any implications wrt the scope of features + or bugfixes included, the stability of the code, or the + API / ABI compatibility (libvirt API / ABI is guaranteed + stable forever). The rules applied for changing the libvirt + version number are: +

    + +
      +
    • major - incremented by 1 for the first release of the year (the Jan 15th release)
      • +
    • minor - incremented by 1 for each monthly release from git master
      • +
    • micro - always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1 for each stable maintenance release
      • +
    + +

    + Prior to to 2.0.0 the major/minor numbers were incremented + fairly arbitrarily, and maintenance releases appended a + fourth digit. +

    +

    Maintenance releases

    In the git repository are several stable maintenance branches, matching the - pattern vmajor.minor.micro-maint; + pattern vmajor.minor-maint; these branches are forked off the corresponding - vmajor.minor.micro formal + vmajor.minor.0 formal release, and may have further releases of the - form vmajor.minor.micro.rel. + form vmajor.minor.micro. These maintenance branches should only contain bug fixes, and no new features, backported from the master branch, and are supported as long as at least one downstream distribution expresses interest in a given branch. These maintenance - branches are considered during CVE analysis. + branches are considered during CVE analysis. In contrast + to the primary releases which are made once a month, there + is no formal schedule for the maintenance releases, which + are made whenever there is a need to make available key + bugfixes to downstream consumers.
