No bug to report, however I've got a couple of questions wrt. versions:
- Once 9.4 is released, will the maint branch be updated to this
version?
- Will Emacs's maintenance branch (emacs-27) be updated with Org 9.3.8,
so that Emacs 27.2 includes all bugfixes for 9.3? (If so, I can open
a new report on Debbugs to track this, as suggested by Stefan K.)
- During the development of 9.4, AFAICT, while the "Version:" comment in
org.el sayd "9.4-dev", the org-version variable matched the latest
tag, i.e. 9.3.x.
I therefore couldn't figure out a way to check for 9.4
programmatically. Would it make sense to:
- set a "release_x.(y+1)-rc" tag on master once version "x.y" is
released and goes in the maint branch,
- in targets.mk, when computing ORGVERSION, add "--first-parent" to
"git describe", so that org-version matches this rc-tag when
compiling Org's master branch?
At any rate, thanks for all the work.
