The merge happened on Mar. 16 2014, about 160 days later.\nThe [current PR](https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/pull/928)(actually [two](https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/pull/929) seperate but related) was proposed on Mar. 2 2014 and is not yet(~120days later) merged - but it seems that a merge is in the near future.\n\nWhile i understand that most of the work on AA is done in freetime, i would like to understand the politics behind when to merge a PR and when a new release is done. I have no problem with using a SNAPSHOT(i actually started with 3.0-SNAPSHOT and never had a stable :disappointed:) but since Oct 6. I'm forced to use a self built SNAPSHOT to have my changes available in my projects.\n\nTL;DR\nI would like to know how you decide when to merge a PR (after they are OK/LGTM) and when there will be a new release or at least a bump to the next minor snapshot (like 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT) where changes for the corresponding release will be merged as soon as they are OK/LGTM. For breaking changes (like a [plugin system](https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/issues/957)) that would require a new Major i understand that they will open for a bit longer until there is enough to justify a jump to a new major release.\n\nThank you all for this beautiful library! ;)\n\n@DayS @yDelouis\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/dodgex","@type":"Person","name":"dodgex"},"datePublished":"2014-07-03T07:33:13.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":28},"url":"https://github.com/1065/androidannotations/issues/1065"}
