[cross-project-issues-dev] What is a maintenance release

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Can someone help me out on a problem I'm having in

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411753

Xtext 2.4.0 was released on 20 March 2013 for use with Juno SR2, therefore it has no EMF 2.9 (Kepler) lower bounds.

Xtext 2.4.2 forms part of the Kepler release and has an EMF 2.9 (Kepler) lower bound.

Surely a maintenance release should be a simple replacement and avoid imposing new constraints wherever possible?

I would therefore expect a response, to what is quite possibly just an easy releng accident, that the
lower bounds/API would be restored to that of 2.4.0 in either 2.4.2a or 2.4.3.

	Regards
