[SR-Users] Development for v5.4.x is frozen

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

the formal notification that the development for the next major version
5.4.0 is now frozen. The focus has to be on testing the master branch.

Also, the master branch should not get commits with new features till
the branch 5.4 is created, expected to happen in 2-4 weeks, a matter of
how testing goes on. Meanwhile, the commits with new features in the C
code can be pushed to personal branches, pull requests can still be
done, but they will be merged after branching 5.4.

Can still be done commits with documentation improvements, enhancements
to related tool (e.g., kamctl, kamcmd), exporting missing KEMI
functions and completing the functionality of the new modules added in 5.4.

Once the branch 5.4 is created, new features can be pushed again to
master branch as usual. From that moment, the v5.3.0 should be out very
soon, time used for further testing but also preparing the release of
packages.

If someone is not sure if a commit brings a new feature, just make a
pull request and it can be discussed there on github portal or via
sr-dev mailing list.

A summary of what is new in upcoming 5.4 is going to be built at:

Upgrade guidelines will be collected at:

  * https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/install/upgrade/5.3.x-to-5.4.0

Everyone is more than welcome to contribute to the above wiki pages,
especially to the upgrade guidelines, to help everyone else during the
migration process from v5.3.x to 5.4.x.

Cheers,
Daniel
