WiX Online Meeting 292 Highlights
Today's meeting was postponed a week due to the time we took to handle the WiX documentation consolidation, the sunsetting of WiX v3 and v4, and the release of WiX v6-rc.1. Then, due to the phenomenon known as "clock madness" for which Rob is Patient Zero, it was postponed an additional 30 minutes. Rob also announced the Open Source Maintenance Fee as a way of addressing the open-source sustainability crisis. Stay tuned for how the Open Source Maintenance Fee will apply to WiX.

WiX v3 and WiX v4 are no longer in community support
As we discussed earlier this year, WiX v3 faces a deadline for the end of community support. That deadline has arrived.

WiX documentation consolidation
As we discussed at last month's WiX Online Meeting, we decided to consolidate the WiX documentation with existing (and future) FireGiant documentation. You can see the results—with a gorgeous new visual design—at https://docs.firegiant.com.

WiX Online Meeting 291 Highlights
How did you know that my secret birthday wish was for lots of WiX issues to triage and lots of discussion about the past and future of WiX? And you got me horribly frigid weather on top? You shouldn't have. No, really, you shouldn't have. But I'm happy to share. Read on for news and lots of triage.
