[robertobandini]

I was wondering if it might be worth it in these cases, where small features are introduced anyway, to go ahead with 1.7.0 instead of 1.6.2, what do you think?
I mean, anyone who has an opinion on this matter, feel free to express it.

[dex4er]

The versions provide hint about breaking changes for extensions. As we don't introduce new features for them, we can stick with the patch number. Sure, we have a lot of minor improvements, but they are not so dramatic to bump a middle version, I think.

@dex4er
We have to put a check before every release.
The release should only be made if at least one person has performed manual testing for each OS.
We can establish more stringent criteria as needed.
This is in addition to automatic testing to prevent bugs from appearing due to lack of testing as much as possible.

Was the release manually tested?

• Linux
• MacOS
• Windows

[robertobandini]

I think we can release 1.6.2.
I note that we need to jointly define this manual testing procedure, including which tests to run for anyone who wants to contribute.
Anyone who wants to contribute, even just with an opinion, is always welcome.
