[$] The second part of the 7.4 merge window
Date:
Mon, 02 Nov 2026 17:51:48 +0000
Description:
The 7.4 merge window, which closed on November 1,
included a record-breaking 18,591 non-merge changesets.
That is almost as many as the entire 7.3 development cycle, which had 18,765, itself a record breaker. Of
those, 11,838 landed after the article covering the
first part of the merge window . Most of those were bug fixes of
various forms; it seems as though bug fixes may be crowding out feature additions across the open-source ecosystem to
some extent. Still, a good number of new features were included, and a handful removed, in the tail end of the merge window.
