Description
The release strategy is currently available on the website here:
https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html
There is information on:
- The versioning scheme
- Definitions of alpha/beta release and standard release criteria
We should consider whether any of the above text should be converted into a technical policy (either as-is or rewritten).
Other sections of that page are probably more OMC policy. I've created a proposal for those sections here:
As noted in that PR, I've left out 2 bullets about stability that currently exist on the release strategy page. Specifically;
- No existing public interface can be modified except where changes are unlikely to break source compatibility or where structures are made opaque.
- When structures are made opaque, any newly required accessor macros or functions are added in a feature release of the extant LTS release and all supported intermediate successor releases.
We should consider whether any of this text should be incorporated into our stable release updates policy.
