So to summarize the discussion so far:
* nobody is strongly arguing for an instability period after the bump,
and there are good reasons against it, therefore we should NOT have
one
* the bump can be done either as bump-then-remove or remove-then-bump
* there are advantages and disadvantages for both of those, nobody
expressed a strong preference for either, so you can keep this as
is
Please correct me if I misunderstood or missed something, or somebody
has a new opinion.
Since the instability period doesn't seem popular, if anyone has some patches
for ABI changes (enum value or field offset changes, removing avpriv_
functions we forgot about, etc), then please send them asap so i can push
them all at the same time.
Ok, I can send the frame number changes tomorrow. When do you plan to do
the actual bump? I assumed the last 5.x release should be branched first.
Why? 5.1 was already branched out.
And is missing 6 months of development.
So you want us to release both 6.0 and 5.2 at the same time?
I don't get it.
I don't see too much benefit in releasing 6.0 right now just because we
bumped API, beacuse API bump typically means API removal, not addition.
So my suggestion is to release 5.2, then bump, then release 6.0 in a few
months. As I said, this allow things to calm down after the bump, which I
find good practice even if we do not have a formal unstable period.
This is quite in line with what James proposed with 3 point releases:
x.0 - first release after API break
x.1 - LTS
x.2 - last release before API break

Marton
