So is RC the point when we create a branch? I guess I'm just not clear on when release branches get made. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18371: Release branches (release information in general) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18371#change-95010 * 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:
