Dear all,
As decided at the PSC meeting on Friday, I have created a new branch for the 8.0 release. This means that:
-
We are close to 8.0 RC 1.
-
Version 8 specific bug fixes need to be backported from main to releasebranch_8_0.
-
If we plan another bug fix release of 7.8, bug fixes relevant to both 8.0 and 7.8 need to be backported also to 7.8 at least until the release of 8.0.
-
Docker images are now built for the 8.0 branch too (I changed the workflow settings). (Open issues/PRs if this doesn’t work.)
-
Larger changes such as single window and raster parallelization GSoC projects can now be merged into the main branch.
In the following days, I will create a new branch for addons called grass8. However, the transition there will be a longer process and I will need some support in updating all the related workflows.
Best,
Vaclav
