I don't understand GitLab - next release?

Can anyone tel me how I figure out, how to see when the next relese will be deployed and what is going to change.
Since a couple of days, since I have trouble with the newest version, I try to finde out how GitLab works. But I don’t understand it.

I don’t see when v0.14 will be released.

Thanks and sorry for my ignorance…

Gitlab is not a platform to announce new features and publish release dates.

The “git” part is for organizing and versioning the code base. git is an amazing tool, but until you need it, you may think of it as “software developer stuff” :wink:, do not try to understand git if you only want to report issues!

On top of that, Gitlab provides methods for team communication and efficient cooperation.
Issues can be raised to make problems known, so the developers can fix them.
/e/ manages issues here.
There is also s labeling feature, where issues can be labeled “urgent”, “specific to one device”, etc.
Currently, scoped labels are used to indicate which bugs will probably be fixed in which versions (e. g. target:0.14 for everything the devs plan to fix by then). Additionally there are priority labels to indicate urgent stuff.

This gives you an impression of what will possibly be fixed, in which versions and what’s the current status. Of course, a label on an issue does not guarantee, an issue will be resolved in the specified version.

Okay, thanks for explaining it to me. I now understand it better, from a non developer perspectiv :wink:

If I don’t finde my issiues, it would better to post them into gitlab instead of e.foundation community, right?

I have to figure out how to provide logs from my phone, but this is somwhere explained.

Thanks very much

Right, that’s you direct channel to the devs.
But make sure there really is no other issue dealing with the same problem. If there is one, you can comment and maybe provide additional logs and insights.
