Hi,
The question then is, do we want to have BOTH:
2.1.8 = 2.1.7 + bug fixes ONLY
2.2.0 = major new features + any fixes
OR, do we want to give up on 2.1.8, and just release 2.2.0?
There are pros and cons both ways. Having a stable 2.1.8 is good. But maintaining two versions could confuse people.
we already have 2 versions that people get confused and want support on.. 1.x and 2.x (in fact, you could say 1.0.x, 1.1.x, 2.0.x and 2.1.x ! :-) ) however, i would be happy to have 2.1.8 and 2.2.0 for the short term - because 2.1.x train is one that everyone is familiar with and works in the 2.1.x way where-as - as you say, 2.2.x will have new features, methods etc - it would make sense , then to say 2.1.8 for the small upgraders and 2.2.x for those wanting the new features/methods etc. ..and can we say goodbye to all 1.x 'support' ? :-) alan
