Description
visit the v8
branch
For the next major version of postcss-preset-env
we want to try out a new process.
- well defined scope for all changes
- release candidates
- keeping the current major version (
v7
) maintained for a short period
multiple batches
As discussed in #460 v8
will be quite large and the process will take a while.
To keep a good overview we will work in multiple batches.
Only the first batch has been scoped at this time.
Knowing the scope ahead of time allows everyone to plan for these changes.
We might try to release alpha
versions of v8
after each batch has been completed.
release candidates
As postcss-preset-env
is also packaged in other projects we want to give everyone time to try out the updates and give feedback.
We absolutely want to avoid having to ship another major version shortly after because we overlooked something.
v7
maintenance and support
We will keep supporting v7
for 3 months after the initial release of v8
.
Because of the amount of plugins and the complexity of the whole project we can't keep supporting older versions for long stretches of time.
If 3 months is too short (or long) for you, please let us know.
in practice
Most work will happen against a new v8
branch.
All breaking changes to plugins and postcss-preset-env
will happen there.
Regular maintenance and updates will be done on the main branch (v7
).
These changes will then be ported over to v8
.
