| Re: [tools-pmc] Release / Progress review for Eclipse GEF |
I swear that I answered this, but I can't seem to sort out where (I'm suffering from a serious case of too many channels).Anyway...I added both releases individually to the simultaneous release record.I assume that you've sorted out how this is represented in the simultaneous release repository.FWIW, there is precedent for doing this: we've had, for example, two different versions of the Eclipse Platform in the simultaneous release at one point.WayneOn Wed, Sep 6, 2023 at 2:31 PM Alois Zoitl via tools-pmc <tools-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Tue, 2023-09-05 at 17:01 -0400, Jonah Graham wrote:

Did that. Looking forward to their response.

Is this version number an error, or are you not even releasing a GEF (non-classic) version. I assume that the 3.17.0 is the GEF classic version being released?
