Re: [platform-ui-dev] maintained branches
Hi Jonah

master is for 4,9 and R4_8_maintenance is currently used for 4.8. After that, it can hold fixes post 4.8, but there won't be any official build for that (see below).

> Will there be (under normal circumstances) be a 4.8.1 release (and likewise a 4.9.1 release in the future)? Will the 4.8 branch get anything on it?
No. In the new world there won't be any service releases.

Hi folks,

While trying to get Kiran up to speed on building/editing Eclipse I cam across this in Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute:

Our currently active branches:

  • master - development towards the next release
  • R4_7_maintenance - fixes for 4.7.x/Oxygen service releases, no active development but sometimes we cherry pick patches from master to it

I understand the branch was just created, so a few things still need updating. I was about to just do it and change it to say:

Our currently active branches:

  • master - development towards the next release
  • R4_8_maintenance - fixes for 4.8.x/Photonservice releases, no active development but sometimes we cherry pick patches from master to it

But I didn't know if that was even true with the new release cadence. Will there be (under normal circumstances) be a 4.8.1 release (and likewise a 4.9.1 release in the future)? Will the 4.8 branch get anything on it?

Sorry if I have missed the info on this previously.

Thanks
Jonah
