As you are probably aware over the past 2 weeks I have
been repairing the
bugs blocking R14 listed in Bug 2014. At this time the vast majority have
been repaired, with less than 10 remaining.
As a result we are very close to R14 release.
*****If you have any open bugs that you think should block R14, now is the
time to add them.
It will take several weeks to fully rebuild the Debian/Ubuntu archives; at
the end of this process if all bugs blocking Bug 2014 are resolved we will
proceed with release.
Thank you to the rest of the TDE development team for keeping things going
and helping with the overall bug load, especially Slavek, Michele, and
Darrell!
Don't jump the shark. :) Not every app or feature gets used every day. Despite the
huge movement forward, there might be some nit-pick regressions associated with the latest
commits. There are only a handful of us using git in a meaningful manner. That is, limited
testing and eyeballs. Thus even after the list is reduced to zero, provide sufficient time
for developers and testers to actually run everything for a week or two. We have gone this
long with the official R14.0, another few weeks will not bite anybody and might even help.
:)
We still should roll through a formal RC1, RC2, . . . cycle and announcements. RC
announcements tend to motivate some users to install and test.
Documentation needs attention, although with all of our schedules and energy I don't
know how much we can do about that.
When was the new wiki and web site to be unveiled (which need to be tested by community
users)? With the official announcement of RC1?
BTW, Francois helped a lot too. :)
