Curious about release schedule

[aptalca]

Just curious about the release schedule since each ZBM version/release is tied to a specific openzfs version.

Last ZBM release was in January and there have been a few zfs updates since. Is the goal to follow major/minor zfs releases and not patch releases? Or is there no specific schedule and it's decided on a case by case basis?

I primarily would like to avoid the issue of accidentally creating/updating a zfs pool that is higher in version than what ZBM supports and risking getting locked out.

Thanks

ZFSBootMenu releases are not tied to a specific OpenZFS version. Upgraded pools will be safely imported if there are no feature incompatibilities that prevent ZFSBootMenu from doing so. If there are new features in a pool that are read-only compatible, writable imports of the pool will be prohibited (preventing, for example, diffing snapshots or pinning a kernel version from the UI) and a warning will be printed at boot about the incompatibility.

When a release version of OpenZFS introduces features that may break pool imports, we intend to tag a new release of ZFSBootMenu as soon as Void Linux includes a package for the OpenZFS update. Otherwise, we tag releases as enough new features have accumulated to justify the release engineering.
