= Preparing for 2.36.0 =

WebKitGTK and WPE '''2.36.0''' will be the next release in the stable series (following  [wiki:WebKitGTK/2.34.x 2.34.x]). We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. We branched at r290294 (22/02/2022).

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-2.36
Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the
branch, so be sure to stay up to date. Thanks for your help!

= Useful commands =

To get a wiki-formated list of commits that just got merged:

{{{
 $ git log --pretty=oneline <commit>.. | cut -d ' ' -f 5- | sed "s,\(.\+\)\(https://bugs.*\),  * ~~[\2] ''\1''~~,"
}}}

= How to add a webkit-2.36 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-2.36 branch to there, add a new remote to .git/config:
{{{
[svn-remote "webkit-2.36"]
    url = https://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.36
    fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-webkit-2.36
}}}

and run the following commands:
{{{
git svn fetch webkit-2.36 -r 290294
git branch webkit-2.36 git-svn-webkit-2.36
git checkout webkit-2.36
git svn rebase
}}}
