Openlayers: New release? More frequently going forward?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This isn't really a problem as such, there isn't a template for this as it's a slightly "meta" question.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see more frequent releases. I see some "dependabot" activity was merged the last few days, and I'm assuming that's stuff that is worth getting out there. More immediately, I'd like #11224 released because then I can update the OL code in https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-web and close the last security issue identified by CodeQL!

You can always get the latest when you npm install ol@dev, and I'm planning to release v6.4 within the next few days.

@mohawk2 - note that the dependabot activity on this repo is almost exclusively about development dependencies (https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/pull/10149 is the one counter example in the past 9 months). So these are changes that don’t make their way into the release.

As @ahocevar mentions, you can always install the latest passing commit by using the ol@dev tag. If you wanted to try the most recent code in https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-web/pull/2329, you could use the [email protected] version (find the most recent release on the versions tab). There is a bit more work that goes into the latest-tagged releases, but the dev releases pass the same tests.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'd prefer not to be using the dev version for https://metacpan.org/, and to wait for the next release :-)

There has certainly been a storm of releases recently. Please keep that up! :-D
