Realistically, that's now unlikely to happen before 5.26.0 otherwise we will end up with maint branches in an RC phase at the same time as the main .0 release, which I promised last year to avoid doing again. So I now hope they'll get released shortly after 5.26.0. I don't know whether I'll still go ahead with the intended 5.24.3 after that or not. It would seem crazy not to since we still haven't had a bug-fix release of 5.24 due to the length of time that the @INC stuff has taken, but there may be no appetite for it once 5.26.0 is out of the door -- it might make more sense by then to just focus on not letting 5.26.1 slip too late itself. Sawyer is best to advise on timing plans for the 5.26 release.Thread Previous | Thread Next
