Confusing git tags with -rc suffix

Open jirutka opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

The latest release for PG15 is named Release v1.4.0 for PG15, but it’s created from the tag PG15/v1.4.0-rc0. So, is it an RC (Release Candidate) version or a final (stable) version?

@jirutka, It is a final (stable) version. The RC0 tag is stable, well-tested, and has gone through all necessary quality checks. Hope this helps!!

So why is it called -rc0? What does it stands for if not Release candidate?

@jirutka When we do our releases, our process is we tag it with a RC tag to demarcate that that branch is the one that is our release candidate. It does seem a little confusing now that you mention it. Moving forward maybe we'll change the process for doing so.
