[DISCUSS] release a new version of Apache APISIX Dashboard

[JunXu Chen <ch...@apache.org>]

At present, Dashboard and APISIX are released at very close time each
month, but Dashboard is one version behind each time, which means that
after APISIX releases a new version, users need to wait for nearly a month
to use a new version of Dashboard that matches APISIX.

In order to solve this problem, I want to release a new version of
Dashboard that can be used with APISIX 2.5 this weekend.

One month later, when we released a new version of Dashboard, it was
exactly one week later than the release of APISIX. This one week, we can
use it to catch up with the changes in APISIX.

If a new version is being released, I would like to use 2.5.1 instead of
2.6. Because I want to keep 2.6 to match APISIX 2.6, and it is also
convenient for users to use Dashboard with APISIX by a same version number.

What do you think about the release and the version number? Welcome to
discuss. Thanks!

Hi,

I agree with you, due to the historical issues, we have to use Dashboard
x.y with APISIX x.y-1, which's hard for users to distinguish those versions.

BTW, we have introduced many PRs for Dashboard recently, both web &
manager-api, I would agree to release a new version :)

Best Regards!
