Until an hour or two ago, I had zero interest in node-js. Now, reading an old mozilla development google-doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tOA2aeyjT93OoMv5tUMhAPOkf4rF_IJIHCAoJlwmDHI/
I see the claim that "Node follows an odd-even release cycle". As at February of this year, the stable version was v8.9.4. Fedora 27 was using that, Arch (AUR) and FreeBSD ports were on 9, debian unstable was on 8.9.3, everywhere else was on older or much older. Anyway, my point was going to be : do we need an unstable release ? That document expected that version 10 would be released in May. Hmm, https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule suggests 10 is the current release. Looking at https://nodejs.org/dist v10.9.0 seems to be the latest (10.0.0 was released at the end of May). BUT - 9.11.2 which is currently in the book seems to date from 12th June. I'm confused. So, are we somehow missing that this is getting new releases ? And should we in future stick to even-major releases ? Probably, like most other things releasing frequently, we don't want to pick up every release unless they fix important bugs or security issues. ĸen -- Tout est bien, tout va bien, tout va pour le mieux qu'il soit possible -- Candide, de Voltaire (Everything is for the best, in the best of all possible worlds) -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
