Not really. IMO, stable should be an "always close to releasable" branch, where anyone can submit provided they follow the rules about what kinds of changes are acceptable, while release should be a restricted branch where only the release team can pull in patches after careful consideration of the consequences. Stable implies that changes therein have passed CI and a few other basic checks. Release implies that the patches therein have passed more rigorous checks (such as successful package generation). -- Jason _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
