RPM packaging and Ganglia plugin for metrics v2 features committed to trunk before in branch-0.20-security. There is no rule that declares the new feature landed in trunk needs to materialized into a release then back port is allowed to happen. Those are the only two new minor features that were back ported from trunk to 0.20 security branch. No one is using branch-0.20-security as their new trunk. Hence, the 4 part version number should not apply.
Majority of users are not affected by the utility features introduced in 0.20.204. Change Log shows what is in this release. 0.20.204 is incremental improvement of existing 0.20.x release. regards, Eric On Aug 2, 2011, at 12:23 PM, Eli Collins wrote: > On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Allen Wittenauer <a...@apache.org> wrote: >> >> On Aug 2, 2011, at 4:28 AM, Steve Loughran wrote: >>> >>> I'm getting confused about release roadmaps right now >> >> branch-20 is the new trunk, given that features keep popping up in it rather >> than bug fixes. > > When we voted to adopt 203.rc0 we also voted to adopt the new 4 part > version scheme which was intended to allow feature development on the > 203.x series.
