Description

Since Feb 2009, it's announced that both 1.6.x and 1.7.x won't have more releases, hence they became unsupported.

Proposal:

1) Change in the tracker, current message for current versions in those branches to (dates are a proposal):

There will not be another 1.6.x release, but critical bugs may still be backported to the branch until July 31th, 2009
There will not be another 1.7.x release, but critical bugs may still be backported to the branch until October 31th, 2009

2) Then, the day after those dates, release definitively those "+" versions, so they will become "closed".

=== === ===

Finally, perhaps we should also start thinking about the date to end support for 1.8 and, once agreed, publish it. Perhaps when 2.0 became stable (beta or release) could be a good moment. But that needs to be announced before. Or perhaps we want to continue with the "3 supported versions" schema. To decide, anyway.

Ciao

1) Done, I've modified the versions as commented + added events to the development calendar.
2) Will happen the day after. I leave this open until then.

Ciao

Done. I've:

  • Released 1.6.9+
  • Archived all 1.6.x versions

So, from the Tracker perspective, 16_STABLE is out. Long Life!

In 3 months... 17_STABLE will follow the same approach. Leaving this open until then.

Ping: Warming up. Just two weeks to "close" 17_STABLE in the Tracker.

From HQ chat:

  • Tentative date for 18_STABLE releases stop: June 2010 (coinciding with Moodle 2.1 release, so "3 supported" versions will continue).
  • Tentative date for 18_STABLE out from tracker: November 2010 (always 5 months after stopping releases).

TODO:

  • Document the "dropping support for one stable branch" thing and steps (announcements, 3 versions sipported, 5 months...) somewhere. Just guessing if some Sun could do this in Moodle Docs for further discussion.
