Is VTE 0.77.0 a stable version? I haven't found the information anywhere (readme, git tag, …). There is no NEWS or ChangeLog file.

vte 0.77.0 is a development release. vte 0.78.0 will be the next major stable release as part of GNOME 47.

There must be a bug in the checker:

            x-checker-data:
              type: gnome
              name: vte
              stable-only: true

Indeed, it's because vte's major version is 0.

See https://github.com/flathub-infra/flatpak-external-data-checker/blob/master/src/checkers/gnomechecker.py

For the even/odd version scheme, the _is_stable() function checks if the major version is greater than 0. Look at the last if condition:

def _is_stable(version: str) -> bool:
    ver_list = version.split(".")
    if len(ver_list) < 2:
        # Single number, e.g. "41"
        return True
    major, minor = ver_list[:2]
    if set(ver_list[1:]) & {"alpha", "beta", "rc"}:
        return False
    if int(major) > 0 and int(major) < 40 and len(ver_list) > 2:
        return (int(minor) % 2) == 0
    # XXX If we didn't see any indication that the version is a prerelease,
    # assume it's a normal (stable) release
    return True

So it returns True in the case of vte (the last return, after the XXX comment).

I'm closing this since there are newer automatic pull requests. vte 0.78.0 should be released within a few days anyway.
