We'll probably release 3.1 / 3.2 in a year or so. I'd like to stop new development on 3.0, and keep changes to bug fixes. Then, the next release becomes the "experiment with new features" release.
..which would be 3.2.0 ideally - 3.1.x will be at some unknonw number of x and those who have tried/tested things will be ready for 3.2.x production. Then all new stuff goes into 3.3.x - or 4.0.x ?
Yes.
it would be good to keep the odd numbered sub-release (3.1, 3.3, 3.5 as the test/dev track with the 3.0, 3.2 etc being the stable/release..... with some cut-off time for the previous one. how long would support be for 3.0.x after 3.2.x came out for example?
Probably 3 years, given various OS vendors who shall remain nameless. Alan DeKok.
