Exactly one month after my last post, we reached openHAB 2.5.8!
The release notes are available on Github at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.5.8.
I’d like to use the opportunity to share some details on our plans for the coming months:
openHAB 2.5.9 is tentatively scheduled for September 20 and it will be the last “big” 2.5.x patch release. Immediately after this release, we will make the master branch (i.e. 3.x) of the add-ons repo the default branch to work on - only major and critical fixes will be backported to the 2.5.x branch and become part of a 2.5.10 release. Early October we should have a first milestone build of openHAB 3.0 and we are still aiming for the release by the end of the year.
Please use this topic for any follow-ups, questions and discussions.
