+1 to have an update of stable release specially newer kernel for AA.

Asunto: [OpenWrt-Devel] Openwrt future release strategy? kernel strategy?
What is the current plan regarding the next releases?
In 2012 it sounded like the goal was to move to a more rapid release
strategy, maybe something every 6 months.
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2012-August/016427.html
But that has not been the outcome during that 18 months since that
discussion :-(
And then later after the AA12.09 release there was some talk and
initial
preparations for an AA 12.09.1 maintenance release, but there has not
been
much happening in the AA branch. It has been practically dead (5
check-ins in
last 3 months). Is there going to be AA12.09.1 release or not?
The current situation is a difficult from documentation and support
perspective: for example ipv6 support varies a lot: old 12.09 has
different
ipv6 config and modules than the 12.09 branch currently has, and then
trunk
is again different (no more 6relayd). Same goes also toward netifd,
which has
seen lots of changes in trunk.
I feel that it would be great to have either a 12.09.1 rather soon,
maybe
with a bit more aligned with trunk than it currently is, or
alternatively a
new BB 14.x release.
Regarding the next trunk release, I am a bit confused about the
current
amount of various kernels. For a while I though that the next release
might
be built on the long-term 3.10.x kernel, but currently there is so
much 3.13
work going on, that I guess that 3.10 will not be the basis. At the
same time
the are still semi-abndoned(?) platforms with kernel 3.3/3.6/3.8/3.9.
Based
on that I fear that there is a long road to the next release.
Developers and us regular contributors are happy with the self-built
daily
trunk builds, but a proper release with a stable package repository
would
make it easier for the average end-user.
Absolutely agree. I'm a normal end-user and there's a long time that I'm not
using stable release approx 6 month after 12.09, yes, because it's out of dated
for my citizen network. Is hard to me to use daily trunk builds (in several
routers) because I'm not an expert, but that is the only way to use some of new
hardware with features I need.
+1 to have an update of stable release.
It would be great if the developers would open the current roadmap a
bit.
