Hello,
the Evolution (and evolution-data-server, evolution-ews, evolution-mapi)
made their 3.12.x/3.13.x as a year release cycle and they got out of
sync with the GNOME versioning as well. It was good for the major
Evolution change, the movement to WebKit-based composer. I believe
the extra months (the change landed in time of 3.13.3) helped to polish
the composer and make it even more usable than it was in the initial
commit time.
The last development release version was 3.13.90, together with
GNOME 3.15.90. The release schedule is currently in sync with GNOME
and, after couple discussions, I'd like to return back to versioning
of GNOME, the same as to the same release schedule. There still can be
done extra stable releases like in time of the Evolution 3.12.x. A
monthly release cadence seemed to be good for users too.
That said, Evolution core products will completely skip 3.14.x version
series and will jump straight to 3.16.x. The next development release
was planned to be 3.13.91, but it'll be the same as GNOME,
thus 3.15.91. The stable branches will follow the previous pattern,
that is gnome-3-16 for the 3.16 version (Evolution 3.12 series used
evolution-3-12 stable branch).
It doesn't mean there are not planned any other significant changes,
they just might not be that huge like the WebKit-based composer.
Bye,
Milan
