[NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Re: Announce Push of V12.0

Hi! Firstly, thanks for all your work on NFS Ganesha, and sorry if this has been answered elsewhere that I couldn't find. Is it possible to have some clarity on how you choose the next release version? I'm wondering because there's been a sudden change in the velocity of major releases, and I'm wondering what level of changes these really correspond to. The rapid increase in version numbers is causing some concern, so understanding what's happened to trigger it will help us organise a suitable level of testing! To give examples: V4.0->V5.0 - Dec 2021->Apr 2023 - 16 months V5.0->V6.0 - Apr 2021->Aug 2024 - 16 months V6.0->V7.0 - Aug 2024->Jul 2025 - 11 months V7.0->V8.0 - Jul 2025->Oct 2025 - 3 months V8.0->V9.0 - Oct 2025->Oct 2025 - 0 months V9.0->V10.0 - Oct 2025->Jun 2026 - 8 months V10.0->V12.0 (with V11.0 in the middle!) - Jun 2026-Jul 2026 - 1 month. Is this due to an increased pace of development? Or specific high risk/churn features that have gone in? Or something else? What makes V10/11/12 new major releases rather than new minor releases? Thanks for your time, Robert
