Hello everyone,

Please voice your opinion on which version should be our next core baseline.

For me it looks like either 2.288 or 2.289 are the options

2.289 (being released today) includes a change for an upcoming firefox version so it would be good to get it in, but it hasn't had any weekly soaking time so we could use 2.288 and then backport it in if we don't find any issues?

What do you think?

Thanks
Tim

In terms of notable user-facing changes, there is fairly little:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/5411 - File parameter overwriting, which would be backported anyway (I hope)

Otherwise there's been Raihaan's label optimization (5412) and Basil's Guava cleanup (5421), both of which should be safe enough, plus internal cleanups and some translations.

As of 0fd55bd, I have a slight preference for 2.289 just because I dislike the original slow trigger UI so much. We're six weeks out (four to RC) which should be plenty for any serious problems in these changes to show and allow us to backport fixes, back out problematic changes, or just go with 2.288 instead.

Thanks for raising this Tim. 
As I've written on IRC, as long as we choose 2.288+, I'm happy :).

Can you please confirm the expected timeline, so we can better assess things?
Re-reading https://www.jenkins.io/download/lts/ we're looking at a .1 6 weeks from now, i.e. some time around 2021-06-02 right ?

If so, I agree even choosing the upcoming 2.289 could be acceptable with such a testing period.

Hey Tim,

I'm entirely for 2.289 as 2.289 does not make any major changes and as Daniel has pointed out, we can backport any fixes.

Cheers,
Raihaan

2.289 looks good for me. There are no major changes (e.g. we did not merge the Jetty 9.4.40 update), and it should be safe to take this versions as a baseline. If something happens, we still have 6 weeks

AFAICT there have been no new regressions reported for 2.289 since the release.
I think we can go ahead with choosing this baseline.

BR, Oleg

Hi!

So, is selected 2.289 or the discussion is still open?

Thanks!
