#3238 Issue open: RFC: Preparations towards new release of ReaR v3.0

Labels: ReaR Project

gdha opened issue at 2024-06-05 09:42:

Rear v2.7 was released in July 2022 (2 years ago), therefore,
the time has come to start on the preparations of a new major release v3.0.

The ReaR release process is described at
https://github.com/rear/rear/wiki/Release-process

We could add a "blocker" label on the issues we think that should/must
be included in the v3.0 release. This means we should check all current
issues with the label "ReaR v2.8" and make a decision.
Other issues, with a label "ReaR v2.8" that can wait must be relabeled with
a "ReaR v3.1" (or "ReaR Future") label.

Also, when you are testing the pre-3.0 release make a note in our WIKI page:

@rear/contributors
because we already had some discussions about ReaR 3.0:
What about releasing what is currently labeled ReaR 2.8
as ReaR 3.0?

As usual I will make the release notes for ReaR 3.0
i.e. a new
https://github.com/rear/rear.github.com/blob/master/documentation/release-notes-3-0.md
from which a new
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/doc/rear-release-notes.txt
will be made as described at

Convert the release notes from the ReaR web pages into a simple text file

in
https://github.com/rear/rear/wiki/Release-process#preparation
