Greetings,
I have put together some notes on releases that I intend to put on the
project wiki. I wanted to post it here first to make it easier to
review and discuss.
# Matahari Releases
## Version Numbers
X.Y.Z
* ```X``` - Milestone
* Updated once the project maintainers decide that a significant
milestone in the project's evolution has been reached.
* ```Y``` - Major
* Updated when the feature set is changed.
* ```Z``` - Minor
* Updated for releases that primarily contain bug fixes and other
minor changes.
## Ongoing Releases
Matahari is under heavy development. While features are regularly being
added, we intend to make an ```X.Y.0``` release monthly.
Occasionally (based on demand and what we get into various
distributions) we will maintain an ```X.Y``` release series. For a
maintained version, we will make ```X.Y.Z``` releases monthly if there
have been fixes applied.
## Current Release Status
These are the ```X.Y``` releases currently being maintained:
* ```0.4```
** Included in Fedora 15, Fedora 16, RHEL 6.2
Fedora rawhide will be continuously updated with the latest ```X.Y```
release.
## Mechanics
### Branches
Main development occurs in ```master```.
There may also be one or more release branches currently being
maintained, such as ```v0.4```. See the Current Status section for
current information.
For every change that applies to a maintained release, commit there
first and merge to ```master```. Once the release branch is far enough
out of sync with ```master```, we will switch to using ```git
cherry-pick``` to ```master```.
