[Discuss-gnuradio] [UHD] Maintenance Branches - A Fond Farewell to maint

[Michael West]

After many years of service, the maint branch is being retired from UHD.  In its place are branches for each of the minor UHD releases.  In addition to the UHD-3.9.LTS branch, the following branches have been created:

UHD-3.12

UHD-3.11

UHD-3.10

The master branch is once again the default branch.  The master branch will continue to contain the latest UHD with all available features and bug fixes.  Bug fixes will continue to be back ported from master onto the latest minor release and ABI or patch releases will continue to be made as they have been.  Bug fixes and features may be back ported onto earlier minor release branches when warranted and ABI or patch releases for those branches may be made when necessary.  To request back porting of a bug fix or feature to an earlier minor release, please contact Ettus Support<address@hidden>.  Requests will be handled on a case by case basis.

To get the latest stable UHD release plus any bug fixes (the equivalent of the head of maint), simply checkout the head of the latest minor branch (currently UHD-3.12).

This change will help provide long term support of any minor release and remove the issue caused by the resetting of the head of maint with every minor release.

Regards,

Michael
