Since May 2015, Wolfgang Rosenauer (Lead Evergreen Maintainer) has stated his intention to cease doing Evergreen as Leap fulfils the use cases he was making it for.

As a 13.1 user I would like to express my strongest appreciation for all the work done by Wolfgang Rosenauer and the Evergreen maintainers. Thanks!
Which Leap release will be the first Major release? 43.0?
Roger
Leap 42.x was the first 'major' release of Leap, but as we were basing it on SLE 12 SP1 and not SLE 12 GA we jumped directly to Leap 42.1 in November 2015 Leap 43.0 will be the next major release of Leap. It will be announced some time in the future, aligned to when SUSE will announce SLE 13, which should provide the base for Leap 43.0 The exact overlap, how long 42.y (where .y is the last minor release before 43.0) will be supported after the release of 43.0 is still to be confirmed. It will be at least 6 months after the release of 43.0, but I am actively encoraging the consideration of a slightly longer cross-over period between major Leap versions. Will let you know what comes of those discussions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
