Preparing an unusual release : 5.4.27.SP1
by Sanne Grinovero
Hi all,
there's plenty of good fixes and improvements in the 5.4 branch, which
we will soon be releasing as 5.4.28.Final (perhaps tomorrow already?).
But also, there's a severe regression in 5.4.27.Final : HHH-14424 [1].
Since the amount of changes already present in the 5.4 branch is
rather high, we'll also release a 5.4.27.SP1 which includes
exclusively this severe regression; this is meant to help people who
need this urgent fix but don't want to take the risk of also receiving
all other improvements we have in this branch.
I apologise for the unusual process; the alternative would have been
to revert many good improvements from the branch, release, and then
restore them; or rename branches or rewrite them; we opted for the
unusual name to be least disruptive, inspired by similar naming used
by RESTEasy in such cases.
Hopefully this won't be needed too often; to maintain this branch I've
pushed upstream a branch named "5.4.27-SP".
Thanks,
Sanne
