Seven years after 4.3.30, a new Xymon is nearly ready, and it's a big one:
code tests docs
241 merged PRs +5,342 -1,546 +13,266 -2,092 6,497
9 still open +267 -104 +981 -5 157
Ten days later we still have 9 PRs open for 4.3.31 (okay, #661 should
be trivial to approve and I just approved #636), but I fear we won't
ever reach the point where all PRs for milestone 4.3.31 are merged.
I thought about reviewing the remaining 7 PRs, but I fear my C skills
are too limited for this...
So maybe we should just release 4.3.31 as it is now and move the open
PRs to 4.3.32.
From my point of view the current 4.3.31 HEAD is much better than
seven year old 4.3.30 (also without the last PRs applied) and would be
a big step forward for all users.
At least for me as Debian maintainer of the package an early release
would make life easier since it would be the end of trying to keep old
4.3.30 alive in Debian while in parallel try to keep/merge all changes
from the 241 merged PRs into an upcoming Debian package. A fixed
milestone, which I could release in Debian would make this much
easier...
So what is really missing to release 4.3.31? Add the latest changes
to Changes branch (update Changes and RELEASENOTES) and merge them
into the main branch and then just do the release process...
I's suggest doing so sooner than later. And after this do a restart
with 4.3.32.
