PyOWM 2 stream Maintenance plan

Release 2.10-LTS

The 2.10-LTS branch will keep branch 2.10 (Python 3 only) up with bug fixes as far as roughly 1 year after PyOWM 3 release

The v2.10-LTS branch will not embed any new feature and will not be released to PyPi (it will only be installable via pip install git+https://github.com/csparpa/[email protected] or git clone + setup.py).

As said, the v2.10-LTS branch will be operated for 1 year subsequent to PyOWM version 3 release. After that date, a tag will be made out of the branch and the branch will be closed, therefore ending PyOWM 2 releases stream forever

Here is a visual timeline summarizing the main concepts:
