Hi, 

There are a couple of changes that I committed to trunk and branches/3.8 over the last few weeks, and I was expecting those changes to be in 3.8.7.2 - but they don't seem to be. It seems 3.8.7.2 was cut from a separate branch - what's the plan for bringing everything back in sync? [And if we do this again - can we please tell people so we can get things on the right branches first time - apologies if I just missed the announcement!]

Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee!

Good question!  I'm sure Gary will clarify, but my understanding is that 3.8.7.2 was a bit of a zero-day scenario, so Gary just ported the security fixes (and some bug fixes, too) that seemed to be of the most importance for this release.

I could be off my rocker though :)

Thanks,

Hi Justin and Lee,

Justin - your right on this one, it was just the security fixes and
major melt downs. All the other changes will be included in the beta
with all the other good stuff everyone has been working on :)

So - the security stuff will be brought back onto the 3.8 branch and normal service will be restored?

Super - was just dreading having to unwrap what patches had gone where :)

Cheers
Lee

Totally - I don't believe anything was deployed on the 3.8.7.2 branch that wasn't already on the 3.8 branch.  My guess is that Gary took a copy of 3.8.7.1, ported the patches needed from the 3.8 branch, and tagged in 3.8.7.2 - no worries :)

What I'm worried about is stuff that is on the 3.8 branch, but isn't in 3.8.7.2. If we're going to pull everything on 3.8.7.2 back onto branches/3.8 and release 3.8.8 (Or whatever) from there, then that's fine - well catch up then. But if not ...

We'll wait for Gary to comment I guess :)

Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee,

Sorry for the confusion :) Here's a break-down on things:

- 3.8 branch contains stuff for 3.8.8 (improvement on settings page, purchase log listing, variation UI etc.)
- 3.8.7 branch contains stuff for 3.8.7.x (strictly for bug fixes only, no new features)

The most recent release 3.8.7.2 is basically the security patch plus several bug fixes ported from 3.8 branch, applied upon 3.8.7 branch.

The 3.8 branch has all the commits (including the security patch) that is on 3.8.7, so there's no need to port back anything from 3.8.7 branch to 3.8.

Hopefully that clears out all confusion.

Best,

Gary.
