pgRouting pgrouting-dev
1

Hello all,

No more functionality will be added to pgRouting.
We expect to make the 3.7.0 release on November:

  1. if we manage to fix an issue with postgreSQL 12 then it would be before November 14
  2. If we can not fix the issue with postgreSQL 12 then the release will be after November 14

What is allowed:

  • Translations
  • Documentation fixes
  • pgTap tests
  • Code cleanup

After 3.7.0 work will be done towards 4.0.0
which will include:

  • Remove deprecated functionality
    • Code cleanup
  • Reclassification of functions:
    • experimental to proposed function
    • proposed to official
  • Documentation adjustments
    • Translations
  • pgTap tests adjustments

We do not accept new functionality on the first release of a mayor.
If you plan to add more functionality to pgRouting, you can start by:

  • Creating a discussion of your proposed functionality in pgrouting-dev category
  • Base your code on v3.7.0 which will be as closer to the work we will be doing for 4.0.0
  • Once 4.0.0 is released the PR can be made to 4.1.0 which allows new functionality.

Remember that we are no longer supporting MSVC see PR 2504 and this commit

Regards.
