Releases

Release numbering: own vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH line starting at v6.0.1, independent of upstream GNU Midnight Commander versions. MINOR is bumped for feature releases, PATCH for fix-only releases.

Each release is described three times over, from one source: the pull requests of its milestone, and the summary each author wrote in them. The release-notes workflow writes all three. The tag gets a headline of one line. CHANGELOG.md in the repository gets a line per change, and that is what the package changelogs are built from, so apt changelog mc6 says the same as this wiki. The page here gets a paragraph per change, grouped by type (Features, Fixes, Internal) and, inside each type, by area (mcedit, mcview, mcterm, Panel, VFS, Core, Plugins — the latter split per plugin).

Pull requests labelled infra are left out of the notes: packaging, build and repository work is not what a release delivers to whoever installs it.

This page is generated. Its wording lives in maint/wiki/Releases.md.in in the source repository and is rendered here on every publish, so an edit made in the wiki is overwritten by the next release; the release pages themselves are written once and left alone.

Browsing PRs by label: Feature, Bug fix, Plugin, mcedit, mcview, mcterm, panel
