We’re proud to announce the release of Project Voldemort version 0.57. This is our first monthly release: we’re moving to a monthly release cycle, where by regular releases will be made around the fifteenth of every month. Javadocs and tar/zip archives have been updated and may be downloaded from the usual location. You can view the release notes here.
Under the current release plan, patches (containing new features, enhancements to existing features and bug fixes) are accepted throughout on master branch; after thorough testing, these patches are merged. Automated testing runs whenever any commits are made, thus the master branch remains stable. Once a month, a “release candidate” is branched from the master. No further patches are accepted into the release branch. After undergoing rigiorous testing (unit tests, as well as integration and performance tests passing), a release is made from this branch (i.e. versions are incremented). Release notes are kept, detailing changes brought on by this release (new features, issues/bugs fixed, new configuration options and especially any incompatibilities with previous releases). Any changes made on this release branch are merged back to the master.
As a young and agile open source project, we ask for and greatly appreciate community participation: we welcome all contribution, including patches and suggestions on how our release process could be tuned to better serve you.
