Scala 2.13.16 release planning

This thread is for updates and discussions about the eventual Scala 2.13.16 release.

As of yet, we don’t know much about the release’s likely contents or timing. If no followup to 2.13.15 needs to be rushed out, then a typical timeframe might be 3–6 months.

Let’s use this thread to ask, propose, discuss.

We’ll need to build Scala 2.13.16 to support Scala 3.6 in the TASTy reader, but I think it can wait until after Scala 3.6.2 is out.

Reasoning:

  • 3.6.0 was mistakenly published and is now withdrawn
  • 3.6.1 was issued merely as damage control (as will be explained further in a postmortem blog post this week) and is effectively an RC rather than a “real” release
  • 3.6.2 will be the first 3.6.x release intended for general use

So I think it’s fine for us to wait, especially since it hasn’t been very long since 2.13.15.

We are actively winding down the scala/scala PR queue for 2.13.16. If there’s anything you’re hoping will get in, the window of opportunity is starting to close.

(How long you have depends on the nature of the change, how long it might take to review, etc.)
