This is what I'm thinking about:
Mar 24 master closed for breaking changes. April 7 master closed, except by permission April 10 build beta 1 RC April 14 release Beta 1, reopen master April 28 master closed, except by permission May 1st build RC May 5th release 1.56.0
Are we going to do this? Since we haven't got the new branching structure in place, I could stop automatically updating the master branch of the super project on Monday, or perhaps on April 7th.
For preference, I would like to see a clear announcement of what we're doing a good week or two before the process starts.
John.
Please could there also be clear instructions for what maintainers need to do. I am a new maintainer and have not been through this process before. Thanks John (a different one)
