7.x.3 Release Roadmap

All-

If you're using the module -- and especially if you develop for it -- then now is the time to think about 7.x.3.

Status

• I am about to start two large projects on Drupal 7.
• Both of these projects will use 7.x.3 as the base install.
• I will be tagging a beta release the week of 28 August when I start those projects.

Effects

• 7.x.2 branch will become bugfix only.
• Dependent modules must review and implement the API changes: #763442: Drupal 7 API changes and #777230: Hook Changes (d7 cleanup).
• Supporting both the 7.x.2 and 7.x.3 branches is preferred, even if you just state a minimum required version.
• 7.x.3 should be considered a major site upgrade. Test on a backup before you deploy
