Next maintenance release

Post by wotan »

I know I can't get a release date, I'm not asking for one.

Having spent some time looking through 4.0.x bugs, it seems there has been some (critical) bugs fixed, so I was curious as to the timeframe for the next maintenance release. Are we looking at any day now, 1-2 week, a month, Real Soon Now, etc?

I doubt that the devteam will commit themselves unnecessarily, and other than that your guess is as good as ours: which is that updates typically arrive every month or two, or sometimes three. Last update (as I write this) was v4.0.2 on 18th Jan, so we haven't even quite reached the lowest end of that range yet.

Yeah I saw that. ;) In fact the release announcement went up while I was opening Bug #8357.
