Talk:Firefox/ReleaseRoadmap

Please properly define what a "major release" is. In my mind a "major release" is usually the first digit, so this would mean that Firefox 1.0 and 1.5 are part of the same major release. Or is Firefox 1.5 a major release and support for Firefox 1.0 will end 6 months after the general release of Firefox 1.5? Jeff Schiller 21:04, 10 April 2006 (PDT)

From here on in, a major release will be an increase of the first digit. Firefox 1.5 was an anomaly in this regard, and I believe based on an idea to only update the first digit when we reached Gecko v2. Anyway. Firefox 1.5 is a major release, but hereafter only cardinal numbers will mark major releases. Beltzner 22:49, 10 April 2006 (PDT)

So support for Firefox 1.0.x will end in a couple months? Even for high-priority security bugs? I hope the mainstream media doesn't get wind of that and take it the wrong way. I guess with open-source it's always a possibility that someone will just step up and do changes though, is that the idea? Jeff Schiller 07:28, 11 April 2006 (PDT)
