Jörgen, when do you plan to release Cobbler 2.8? You already know what will be on it (bug fixes, new features, doc improvements, refactorings)?
Regards, Alan Evangelista
Alan,
I dont think there will be a 2.8, at least not branched from master. Whatever is in master will be 3.0, there's just too many changes in master to backport to stable branches.
When 3.0 will be released is up for debate; all development is driven by the users of Cobbler.... At the very least all refactoring and generalizing work has to be done before we can even think of stabilizing and cutting a release.
There will be some more 2.6 releases though, but no fundamental changes will occur in that branch, just minor fixes and feature improvements.
Hth
Cheers!

Ah I see, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it.

Jorgen, I have seen some 2.8 initiative recently. Has this ^ changed?

Hi Alan,
Yes, i've created a release28 branch from the release26 branch (how weird is that).The reasoning is that we need another major release series in which much stuff will be deprecated and properly documented first before we remove it in 3.0 and cause a lot of user confusion and regressions. (eg. mysql, couchdb, ia64, maybe even packaging, etc, etc).
But first i'd like to get another 2.6 release out asap and then decide how to proceed from there. Time is, as always, very limited.
Opinions?
Cheers!

Thanks for clarifying.
imho we could use one extra 2.6 release for that, but up to you.
btw I think I'll have some time to contribute in the next few months. =)

That crossed my mind as well, but i think it's nicer to dedicate a major release. It's also what people expect judging from version numbers ( http://semver.org/). Also 2.8 will be sort of a LTS version of Cobbler for users that depended on features killed in 3.0
If you could help out again that would be awesome, still plenty stuff to get done in master!
