<p>I recently updated a website to the latest version of Drupal.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Doing so introduced a bug in a contributed module I was using.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A fix was committed to the 2.x branch of the module, which is still in an unstable alpha phase, and the issue was closed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There was no fix for the stable 1.x branch.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There was no fix backported to the 1.x branch.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are breaking changes between the 1.x and 2.x branches that require me to update custom code that uses the module, which I don't want to do yet, and I don't want to update to an unstable version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you maintain open-source software, don't force people to update too quickly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you can, make it easy for people to update to the next major version by keeping breaking changes to a minimum and providing time and clear instructions for doing so.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If these are too difficult, it could discourage or prevent people from using your software.</p>
