I see some threads about and now I have a question. In case the
fci-branch finally goes into master, should I add it in a 27.? or in a
26.? one. Because the lisp file needs to be updated accordingly.
Emacs 27, definitely. That's what the master branch develops, while
emacs-26 is the release branch, which is closed to new features.
(Sorry but I don't understand the number sequence we use and when they
end, whats the criteria to make a major or a minor next release?).
CONTRIBUTE is supposed to explain that, under "Branches".
BTW, when is planned the next release
We don't plan releases around here. Currently, the master branch
still has several features pending/not finished, so Emacs 27.1 will
not enter pretest, let alone be released, before least 6 months from
now, probably a year.
and it will be a 26.? or a 27.? one
Emacs 26.3 will be released from the emacs-26 branch if we decide
there are enough bugs in Emacs 26.2 to justify another 26.x release,
or if some critical vulnerability is reported that cannot wait until
27.1.
