            Bug ID: 42777
           Summary: Remove static list of obsolete stable versions from
                    the test submission form
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: dimesio at earthlink.net
      Distribution: ---

The AppDB test submission form was originally designed to only display the 6
most recent releases because test reports for development versions older than
that are not useful. 

When the stable branch was first added, updates to that branch were very
infrequent, and users were sometimes unable to submit test reports for the most
recent stable release because it had dropped off the list (bug 15419). To fix
that, a static list of stable releases to always display was added to
config.php.sample. This list could only be updated by sending patches, and as a
result, has always been poorly maintained.

With the 1.8.x series, updates to the stable branch became frequent enough that
the latest stable version always appeared as one of the 6 most recent versions.
1.8. was never added to the static list, and no one noticed. 

With the stable branch now on a roughly bimonthly release schedule
(https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2017-March/116943.html), there is
no reason to maintain the static list going forward, as the latest stable
version will always be one of the 6 most recent versions. The versions already
on the list are all obsolete, and should be deleted.
