Re:OpenSSL versioning and license changes on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @01:41PM (#18554308)
Regarding this text in the announcement:

"In practical terms our “letter” patch releases become patch numbers and “fix” is dropped from the concept. In future, API/ABI compatibility will only be guaranteed for the same MAJOR version number. Previously we guaranteed API/ABI compatibility across the same MAJOR.MINOR combination."

Does this mean 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 will all be ABI/API compatible?

This reads a bit ambiguously at face value in the announcement.

I wanted to make sure there were no other items to be addressed (specifically with the build scripts), I'll update the page now.

In part, yes. It introduced a regression.

Who would be crazy enough to want to work on release engineering?

'-STABLE' refers to ABI/KBI stability.

The release is never officially "here" until the PGP-signed email is sent to the freebsd-announce@ mailing list.
