As mentioned, I''m making some changes to how I manage development around releases, since 0.23.2 still had too many bugs but it took me four months to get a release out. This is obviously unacceptable, regardless of how good my excuses are. :) The major change is that I''m always going to maintain a stable branch, named after the current stable minor release. For example, I created a new branch today called ''0.24.x'' (yes, with a literal ''x''). We''ll do all bug fixes against that branch and all development against the master branch, with frequent merges from the stable branch to the master branch, but never the other direction. This will guarantee that we''ll always have a stable branch that''s ready to release, and it will mean that each stable branch will only have bug fixes in it with no new development. It will also likely mean an acceleration in new minor release versions, since we won''t be doing new development in that branch (I''ve traditionally done new small features in the minor-minor releases sometimes). I''m also hoping to find someone willing to maintain this stable branch, including deciding when to make a new release, so that there''s a clear separation in duties between maintaining development and maintaining stable. I''ve got one potential volunteer for this, but if you''re interested, please let me know. Related to this change, I''m planning to stick to doing any significant development in feature branches which will only be merged with master upon completion -- this was prohibitively difficult with SVN, since merging is so painful with it, but with git it''s easy to keep your feature branches up to date with the master branch. I''m not entirely sure how this is going to work yet, whether I''ll be publicly publishing all of those branches or what, but we''ll see, I guess. These changes are all based on the recommendations of a community member, and I need more help. If you know of a better way to do things, or just of a couple additional changes I should make, then please, please let me know -- I''m learning a lot about project management all the time, but I''d much rather learn by being told than by making mistakes. I hope to have a page up describing these practices, but if you''re willing to document them and help maintain the page, please do so -- I''d love the help.
