[Vtigercrm-developers] next release - 5.0.1 or 5.1?

[Brian Devendorf]

The way I envision it, once 5.0.0 is released, you create a 5.0  
branch. Any bug fixes are applied to the branch and the trunk. New  
features are only applied to the trunk. Most likely, I would expect  
5.0.1 to come first, as a released product is going to receive more  
testing and feedback than a pre-release. This release would likely  
come out between 1 and 3 months after product release. This would be  
dependent on the quantity and severity of the fixes that are found in  
5.0.0.

Regardless, v5.0.0 should be maintained for a set period of time  
(perhaps 18 months) minimum. This ensures that companies do not need  
to accept new features to stay current with security and bug fixes. A  
5.1 release should be a minimum of 6 months out. Too many releases  
create a nightmare for support, and make the product appear to be  
less stable to the companies.
