Question about release process

[josecelano]

Hi @da2ce7, following the release process what should be the next develop version after v3.0.0-rc.1? v3.0.1, v3.1.0?

[da2ce7]

We create a v3 branch, that will be for bug fixes and new features. We bump the version based upon https://semver.org policy.

If we make a breaking change or start working on the next major version, then we can start using the develop branch again. This time with the v4.0.0-alpha... versioning.

In summary: (my recommendation)

Use the v3 branch while we work improving the v3.x.y series... once we decide to move onto the next major version: we move back to using the develop branch.

Hi @da2ce7, OK, then I will follow the release process only until step 7, and create a new v3 branch.

Hi @da2ce7, we have already merged into develop this PR:

#1058

and the cargo version is version = "3.0.0-develop".

It should have been merged into branch v3, right?
