From: "hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)" Date: 2021-11-30T23:33:56+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:106352] [Ruby master Bug#18371] Release branches (release information in general) Issue #18371 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). In recent years, we released the final version of new release from master branch directly. Because creating the release branch before the final release is hard work to backport for release manager. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18371: Release branches (release information in general) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18371#change-94991 * Author: tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi, I was trying to learn about Ruby's release process. I noticed that we don't create a release branch until the final version is shipped. Is there a reason we don't create the release branch when the first preview is shipped? The reason I'm asking is because I'm worried about merging things to master after the first preview. Do we have any documentation on the release process? (I was searching and couldn't find much info, but maybe I didn't search correctly) Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
