[Dune-devel] vX.Y.Z.alpha tags

[Oliver Sander]

I am also against the fourth digit, for the reasons given by Simon.

I agree with Andreas that such a release should be easy.  I would expect
the following steps:

* Backport the change to the 2.8 branch
* Change dune.module of dune-localfunctions only
* Tag there
* Build tarball[sic] and upload, adapt documentation

In particular, do not wait for everyone's MR and cherry-picks,
and only modify the module of interest.  As third-digit versions
only differ in the amount of bug-fixes they have, modules with
different 2.8.X versions should be interoperable.

Best,
Oliver
