[aerogear-dev] Versioning

[Kris Borchers]

So we haven't talked about this for a while so I thought I would stir the fire again. Does anyone have any objection to JS managing our versions as such:

I would like to move what is currently in master to a 1-0-stable branch
Then I would like to update master's build version to 1.1.0-pre
All work is done on the master branch then if the change is applicable to 1.0.0, it can be cherry-picked into the 1-0-stable branch

Then, going forward:

Any patch releases for 1.0.x would come from the 1-0-stable branch
When 1.1.0 is released, the new version would be tagged from master, then branched into a 1-1-stable branch, then the 1-0-stable branch would be deleted
Master would then be updated to 1.2.0-pre

The biggest reason for this is it allows continued work on new features to be merged into their release version from their development branch when ready, rather than waiting until right before a release to put it all together. If we don't do that, and merge something like Notifier into master when it's "ready", we can no longer release maintenance versions for the current stable release because those new features would be included.

Thoughts?
