Release 7.2.0

This is the planning issue for release 7.2.0

We are currently working on the next major release (8.0.0). However, this version will not be available in a near future: according to our estimations it should be released in late October this year.

OTB 7.1.0 has been released in march, so it could be useful to publish another minor release before version 8.0.0.

This release 7.2.0 would contain all non breaking changes since release 7.1.0. This include some bug fixes and two new applications : PantexFeatureExtraction and SpectralAngleClassification.

The develop branch currently does not contain breaking changes, except for !697 (merged) that should not be included in the release.

The following actions should be done :

  • Wait for all issues marked 7.2.0 to be merged

Release candidate

1. Branches

2. Housekeeping

3. Actual release

Once all blocking issues are closed, and the previous steps are done:

  • Tag the release or RC for the rc onldy otb tag has been create
  • Update GIT_TAG for all official remote modules (if needed)

4. Publish and plan next release
