New release plan
Matthias Klumpp
Listaller has always been a project with an "it's ready when it's ready"
release model, which led to very few releases. The last release of
Listaller was over 10 months ago, however development never stopped.
I'm planning to switch to a "release early, release often" release model
now, just like PackageKit does. For PackageKit this works very well, but
PackageKit is very mature software now, compared to Listaller.
So, expect new releases of Listaller every three weeks now, except there
are serious new bugs found in master or we recently added a very big
feature which needs extensive testing. (This will delay releases)
Some words about the 0.5.x Listaller series: This series is for testing
only, because Listaller was rewritten completely, most parts were
rewritten
from scratch. So we will need this testing series where we can break
API/ABI anytime to fix bugs. We might also change the IPK specifications
frequently during this series. However I'll try to prevent big API breaks
or incompatible spec changes, they will happen for sure.
So, please test Listaller, but don't expect it to work perfectly well
during the 0.5.x release series ^^
To distributors: You can package Listaller, but you might want to wait
until the code becomes more mature and ABI breaks happen less often. If you
package it, please mark it as experimental.
Thanks for the attention and kind regards,
Matthias
