[[PageOutline]] = Preparing for 2.4.0 = WebkitGtk+ '''2.4.0''' will be the next release in the stable series (following [wiki:WebKitGTK/2.2.x 2.2.x]). We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. We branched at r163300 (02/03/14). When filing bugs (http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" to ensure they are addressed with high priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged. To get the stable branch code, simply check out http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.4 Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the branch, so be sure to stay up to date.

[wiki:WebKitGTK/2.2.x 2.2.x] = Useful commands = To get a wiki-formated list of commits that just got merged: {{{ $ git log --pretty=oneline .. | cut -d ' ' -f 5- | sed "s,\(.\+\)\(https://bugs.*\), * ~~[\2] ''\1''~~," }}} = How to add a webkit-2.4 branch to existing git-svn clone = If you have already cloned git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git, it only contains a git-svn clone of the svn trunk. To add webkit-2.4 branch to there, add a new remote to .git/config: {{{ [svn-remote "webkit-2.4"] url = http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.4 fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-webkit-2.4 }}} and run the following commands: {{{ git svn fetch webkit-2.4 -r 163300 git branch webkit-2.4 git-svn-webkit-2.4 git checkout webkit-2.4 git svn rebase }}}
