[[PageOutline]] = Preparing for 2.24.0 = WebKitGTK and WPE '''2.24.0''' will be the next release in the stable series (following [wiki:WebKitGTK/2.22.x 2.22.x]). We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. We branched at r241292 (12/02/19). When filing bugs (http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" (or "[WPE] [Stable]") to ensure they are addressed with high priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged. (Don't use "[Stable]" if the bug also applies to master, though.) To get the stable branch code, simply check out http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.24 https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/244108/webkithttps://trac.webkit.org/changeset/244108/webkit Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the branch, so be sure to stay up to date.
