Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-06-30 21:57:15 UTC 
Is it okay to stabilise latest versions?
Comment 1 Zoltan Puskas 2018-07-07 17:56:16 UTC 
Yes, I think we can stabilize the latest version, it had no issues for quite some time.

Since it's and EDA, some users rely on a particular version of the software being available. So let's keep the old stable around too (4.0.4) for now.

Also should we stabilize 4.0.5-r1 and 4.0.6 for similar reasons? If not should we remove them after 4.0.7 becoming stable?
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-07-07 17:59:24 UTC 
No, if we stabilise 4.0.7 there is absolutely no reason to keep .5 and .6 around longer (no one is going to use them). I'm confused, are these not simple bugfix updates as the minor number increment is suggesting?
Comment 3 Zoltan Puskas 2018-07-07 18:16:14 UTC 
Yes, these are mainly bugfixes, however some people in prod environments like to stick to a particular version (it's mostly an industry requirement).

Okay, let's drop .5 and .6, stabilize .7 and keep .4 around for some time.
Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-07-08 07:39:08 UTC 
Arches, please stabilise.
