Re: [platform-dev] Update policy for SWT 4.8 and 4.9 with respect to Bug

["Daniel Megert" <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg

We used to have
maintenance builds for the last official release. Those are gone because
we now release quarterly instead of once per year.

There was also
the possibility for Long Term Support (LTS), but that died due to lack
of interest.

Update policy for SWT 4.8 and 4.9 with respect to      
 Bugs 540762 and 542923

Hi,

I just filed bug report 542923 to explain the reasons for the
previously resolved bug 540762 and why I think that it is more serious
and needs a proper fix for all OS versions.

One part of this is that SWT 4.8 and 4.9 are likely going to remain
broken on current Windows Insider Preview versions and generally after
the next major Windows update some time in spring.

My question for the list is: What's the update policy for such a
critical issue in older SWT versions. This is going to affect all
software based on SWT 4.8 and 4.9 on Windows. Are there going to be
maintenance micro-updates?

In case this is obvious and already documented, please just point me
there and accept my apologies :-).

Best regards,
    Greg
