It is Friday, so that means loads of Sodium news and releases today. Getting set up for that this afternoon. We do about half of our weekly releases on Fridays, so lots to keep us busy.
Yep. Already doing my best to make sure everyone knows I will be unreachable all night tonight.
Have y'all considered going to just one release a week, such as every Friday night or Sunday night or so? Might be easier for bug tracking.
Bigger releases mean more breaking bugs all at once with less time to catch and address them. Mitigating bug issues is a key reason for more releases. That way bugs come out faster, get fixed faster and releases are way smaller. So we are troubleshooting tiny bits of code changes instead of big groups of changes, to find where bugs exist.
Think about it like a system that is broken. If you just patched one library, or just patched hundreds and the system and something breaks, it's really easy to find the problem when you only updated one thing. But if you updated your whole system and something breaks, the problem could be anywhere and you are far more likely to be trying to find multiple issues at once that might even interact with each other.
