Original topic: 关于tidb的版本和PR的一些问题
Let me ask a few questions:
Assuming that a PR was merged into the master branch on GitHub/pingcap/tidb in August.
Which versions will this PR affect? Will this feature be included in the major releases after August in addition to the master branch?
For minor releases after August (e.g., 5.4.3), are they iterations based on the major version 5.4, and thus do not include the features related to this PR?
If this PR is also merged into version 5.4.3, will it be indicated in the PR that it will be merged into both the master and version 5.4 (so that the next minor version, such as 5.4.4, will include this feature)?
If a PR is merged into the master branch in August, it will affect the major versions released after that, not just the master branch. Typically, before a major version is released, it will select and integrate some specific features and fixes from the master branch.
For minor versions released after August (such as 5.4.3), they are usually iterations based on the previous major version (such as 5.4) and may not include the features related to the PR merged in August. Generally, minor version updates mainly involve bug fixes, performance optimizations, and other small improvements.
If this PR is also merged into the 5.4.3 version, developers usually merge the PR into both the master and 5.4 branches. This means that the next minor version (such as 5.4.4) will include this feature, and the corresponding changes will be kept in sync in both the 5.4 and master branches.
In the normal development process, theoretically, yes.
Could you please send the link? I remember it includes the affected versions.
