Maintainers should only accept contributions for branches which are subject to new releases.
Once a minor “dot-zero” version has been released, no new patch releases will be made for previous versions. This means that only the latest minor version patch branch is supported – with the exception of rare cases, like a security bug being found just before or after a minor release is published.
For example, the 1.7.4.x
branch is supported until version 1.7.5.0 is released. After that, the only supported version branch will be 1.7.5.x
, and so on.
If you find a bug on an unsupported version, make sure that bug is still present in the latest version. If the bug is still present, please submit a Pull Request on develop
.
Pull Requests for unsupported versions should not be accepted.
