As we wrap up 1.5 and begin branching for maintenance, a
quick reminder of the policy for 1.5.1:
- General expectation: 1.5
adopters should be able to take 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 without problems
- Binary compatibility is
required among all point releases and 1.5
- Source compatibility is
required among all point releases and 1.5
- Full project interoperability
among these releases (e.g., a project created in 1.5.1 must be usable in
1.5 without changes)
- Without prior PMC approval, no
new, changed, or deleted
- Extension points
- APIs
- Features (including major UI
changes)
- Bug fixes and performance
enhancements are generally ok and do not require PMC approval until rampdown
