discuss [ release process checklist]
All
Cross posting to marketing & dev
I had the displeasure of reading this article this morning
http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2015/02/23/openstack-vs-cloudstack-the-platforms-and-the-cloud-apis/
Initially I thought it was an old article that had been re-hashed, but then I saw his reference to our downloads page:
http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html
which clearly says “Apache CloudStack's most current release is 4.4.2”. Hence this article citing it as our current release (yes, theres other badly researched “facts” in the article also)
Obviously, this had just an oversight during the 4.3,4.4 releases and I understand when everybody is trying to get a release out of the door, updating the website isn’t always going to be the top priotiy
This leads me to ask: have we, as a community, got some form of checklist for a release ? I’m thinking about all of the tasks (such as updating the website) “around” the code release, however I could ask the same question for the actual release itself
Kind Regards
Giles

Somehow you seem to have uncovered my numeric dyslexia - you are 100% right.
Thread cancelled :-)

Isn't 4.4.2 the newest release in terms of features?
Yes, 4.3.2 might have been released later, but that's a bugfix release and
for comparisons it would be better to compare the highest version number?
Or I might be misunderstanding the problem entirely

Yes, 4.3.2 might have been released later, but that's a bugfix release and
for comparisons it would be better to compare the highest version number?
