[Ipsec-tools-devel] ipsec-tools 0.6 release scheduling

[<ma...@ne...>]

Brief summary: 0.6 have been in beta stage for more than 3 months.
Dozens of bugs have been fixed, but we have to release some day.

We recently had two feature addition requests for 0.6: SHA2 support and
PKCS7 support. 0.6 is now in release candidate stage, and I don't think
it's a good idea to add features now. This could trigger new bugs and
lead to a lower quality release.

People want SHA2 and PKCS7 in a stable release. We can understand that.
Here is my proposal:

We release 0.6 right now, and immediatly after that, I pull up SHA2
support to the 0.6 branch and integrate PKCS7 support, then I make a
0.6.1beta1. We would release 0.6.1 within one month.    

Is everyone happy with that?

NB: I'm still awaiting PKCS7 patch that applies HEAD.
