Ah... right I misunderstood your question, thought you were asking for the list f feature differences between 5x and 6x.
There is never much development work done that far back, this was a special case. There will almost certainly never be features developed on the old major version this far into the new major version. The exception is that when a new major version is released (7.0 will be the next) there's often quite a bit of work done on both for a while, but it's usually: add/fix something in trunk/7.0 backport to 6.x backport to 5.x if and only if it's really, really important. When 7.0 comes out, for some time it'll be: add/fix something in trunk/8.0 backport to 7.x backport to 6.x Then eventually the new major version is stable/tested/etc and it becomes increasingly hard to backport new changes. At that point development will essentially stop on 6.x and the pattern will be add/fix something in trunk/8.0 backport to 7.x Best, Erick On Thu, Feb 16, 2017 at 8:35 AM, Corbin, J.D. <jd.cor...@pearson.com> wrote: > Adrien, that is what I was looking for...I am using 6.4.1 but was curious > about the different branches.
