Hopefully they do what Firefox tried (and failed) to do: ship a stable, enterprise version and an advanced version. No locking to arbitrary versions, but able to say, support "IE11 and IE Latest" in your product. Hopefully they allow developers to opt into a 30-60 day preview window such that they can remain a bit ahead of their customers.
- robin_reala 12y agoand failed? Mozilla’s ESR releases are definitely a thing.
- LaikaF 12y agoI'm using one right now. Pretty sure they back port security/bug fixes as I have to keep updating it.
- robin_reala 12y agoThey do. That’s the support in ESR.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoThe Firefox ESR branch is on the same release schedule as the Firefox 'Stable' branch. So, you get a scheduled release every 6 weeks. But ESR just gets the security fixes whereas Stable also gets the new features. When there's an out-of-band security update on Stable (a .1 release), ESR gets that, too. ESR is pegged to specific releases of Stable and operates in parallel for a few releases so there are two different ESRs... the older one and the newer one... so organizations can transition from one browser engine to the next over a couple month timespan and ensure corporate apps work on both. Oddly, some non-organization people want ESR because they think it's updated less often. It's not.
- yuhong 12y agoI would not suggest MS use App-V to do that though.
