IRC logs of Libera.Chat #BZFlag for Tuesday, 2024-01-09

Juesthow much of 2.99.x has been backported to releases?00:39
blast007I don't know if we backported any stuff after 2.4.000:41
Zehra2.4.x. was mostly a backport of a lot of 2.99x stuff which could work/run without issue.00:41
ZehraI think most of it was documented in the differences in 2.x and 2.4.x00:42
blast007there were a lot of map features in 2.99 that we didn't backport00:43
Juestthey were not feasible?00:43
blast007it was more about being risky00:43
Juesthurting the brand?00:44
blast007no00:44
Juestwell, performance or features, user acceptance?00:44
blast007we needed to get a new major release out, so we picked features we could backport that we knew we could get working00:44
Juestah i see00:44
blast007and we set more of a hard deadline, and if we didn't have something working by that point (or it wasn't at least close to working), we pulled it00:45
Juestwell, now with that out of the way perhaps we could focus on some of the other things that didnt make it?00:45
Juestafter completing current "pending" release00:45
blast007we need to do the same sort of thing with 2.5 - look at what's in there and decide if it's working, or can be made to work easily enough, and if not, maybe just pull the feature/change back out00:46

ZehraThis is just me throwing around an idea... I know it is going to be a lot of planning to make it possible/viable...00:50
ZehraBut after the next major release... have builds available for "feature" testing and it just be a continually "unstable" version... if testing shows it to be good... implement it in a new "major" release.00:51
ZehraFeatures get added in little by little, but the next major release should be stable regardless of when it's "released".00:52
Zehra6 months of "stability" testing per feature should be enough. 2 features per year and we run 5 years, we get around 10 ground breaking features per major release.00:53
