What triggers a maintenance release?

Hi all,


I have not found information about this topic in the wiki, and taking into account that I cannot find any "hotfix" branch in github, maybe this has not happened yet: I would like to ask about the criteria to create a maintenance release.

I suppose that a high priority bug should exist, but how is that priority evaluated?


If Im interested on a specific issue solution which will be included in next release, but I cannot wait so long, could I ask for an official maintenance version? Or creating my own Geode version is the only alternative?


Thanks in advance,


Alberto B.

We are suffering the problem of the multiple class loaders described in Geode-6716, which was solved in Geode-6822 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-6822).

Great question, Alberto.  In the past we’ve done patch releases (the 3rd digit in X.Y.Z) due to security issues but it hasn’t been a very common occurrence.

What issue are you running into?  Perhaps we can help with an alternative approach or workaround.  If you would like the project to do a patch release, I encourage you to make a case :-)
