As we've started working in 3 week sprints we are considering a new release model for Keycloak. What we are considering is doing a Beta release for every sprint, then for every 4th sprint (each quarter) we plan to do a Final release. For a beta release existing features will be considered stable, while new features may not be ready for prime time. The recommendation will still be to upgrade to always update to the latest release to receive the latest security fixes and other fixes. However, care should be taken before using new features in production until a Final release is available. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ keycloak-dev mailing list keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-dev

We would need to support migration between beta releases.

Agreed - we need to run the old CI setup before every release (Beta and Final) On 7 February 2018 at 10:53, Hynek Mlnarik <hmlnarik(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > Then until we are able to check DBs at PR level, we should run at least > start Keycloak on all supported DBs before promoting Beta release to make > sure the changelogs are sane - to prevent issues like [1, 2] > > [1] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5235 > [2] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5416 > > On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 8:44 AM, Stian Thorgersen <sthorger(a)redhat.com&gt; > wrote: > >> We would need to support migration between beta releases. >> >> On 6 February 2018 at 21:01, Hynek Mlnarik <hmlnarik(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> Until now we have only supported database migration from Final to >>> Final, i.e. not from CR1 to .Final.
