Re: [tdf-discuss] Are we sure not to release 3.4.4-RC3? This is the last release until February and 3.5.0 one!

Hi Carlo,

sure - but either there's a safe fix, that the responsible devs have
been poked with & that got cherry-picked in time for -3-4 - or
there isn't. Probably all I want to say is that your mail comes
some 2-3 weeks late - please remind people to review fixes before
release tagging happens.

As many others have said before, the point of time-based releases is
to get fixes shipped to users, instead of being caught in that "just
one more fix" dead-lock.

Nothing prevents us from doing another release from the libo-3-4
branch next year, and surely over the time, this branch will
acculumate more useful fixes than just this one Calc bug.

Absolutely! That's the whole point in development, to make a better
version! :)
