The code was first converted to Python-3.7, and then + additional work was done to make it compatible with both Python 2 + and 3. The changes updated 458 files, and touched close to 4000 + lines. + + Making the code compatible with both Python 2 and 3 lets us continue + to use the converted codebase until we're ready to move the primary + webserver's mod_wsgi completely to Python 3. Otherwise, we would have + to merge all new bugfixes and sprint contributions to both trunk + (Python 2.7) and the new Python 3 branch, with doubled merge work + until we were ready to move the server to Python 3. (Testing, though, + will still need to be done under both 2 and 3 to ensure we don't loose + compatibility.) + + -- Henrik Levkowetz 16 Jul 2019 16:14:12 +0000 + + ietfdb (6.98.4) ietf; urgency=medium This is a small bugfix release, to clear the slate before merging
