The summer season (in the northern hemisphere), traditionally a time when many people shift paces to enjoy outdoor activities and traveling, begins to close. Despite this traditional change of pace the past three months, Trinity development continued at a methodical pace. From June 1 to August 31 there were 131 bug reports or enhancement requests resolved in the bug tracker (http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&...), as well as issues resolved through discussion in the developer's mailing list.
During the past several months, many changes occurred in the upstream free/libre software world, such as changes to GCC, GLIBC, GLIB2, LIBPNG, FFMPEG, HAL, etc. Those changes occurred in rapid succession and close proximity. Resolving Trinity related issues has been challenging.
The Trinity development team kept pace. The online Patches web page shows the progress of resolving those challenges: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/
As autumn knocks on the doors of life, Trinity development continues:
* The 3.5.13.1 SRU (Stable Release Update) is only a few patches away from being released with official tarballs.
* A slew of TDEHWLIB updates were committed to the GIT development branch. TDEHWLIB is the eventual Trinity hardware detection layer replacement for HAL, and is already able to fully replace HAL in most areas.
* Network-manager improvements were committed to the GIT development branch.
* Koffice, K3B, and Gwenview i18n sources were committed to the GIT development branch.
* The R14 development branch was overhauled with XDG compliance updates. Trinity is now a recognized XDG environment.
* Comprehensive branding overhaul.
The Trinity development team has adopted a "release when ready" approach but tentatively are focused on releasing R14.0.0 in the fall of 2012. Also, the previously mentioned LDAP/Kerberos tools remain available in the TDE bounty program, with more information available on the TDE RFE page (http://www.trinitydesktop.org/crfe/#finished).
The Trinity development team hopes you enjoyed your summer. Soon in the northern hemisphere the leaves will turn color and in the southern hemisphere, leaves will sprout. Please enjoy the seasonal changes and thank you for being a member of this community!

Looks good :-) I would actually split those bugs up. ___ blocker bugs, ____ major bugs, ____ small and trivial and ___ enhancments for a total of xyz bugs.
So sending this to trinity-announce trinity-users and putting it on the website?

Note: The new localization packages will be also included in 3.5.13.1.

How close are we to posting 3.5.13.1 tarballs?
Darrell
I was hoping that we manage to solve the problems of tde-guidance, but I think it now resign.
The schedule is following (from my point of view): 1) approve and include updated scripts 2) prepare v3.5.13-sru branch on the meta-project 'tde' I have done... I'm waiting for scripts, then I'll push it 3) include patches to change path for documentation from kde/HTML to tde/HTML 4) ready for create tarballs and release :)

I have not put any real effort into tde-guidance due to the fact that its primary functions are being slowly replaced with new C++ based equivalents, such as the TDE hardware library.

Before officially announcing anything, we probably should 1) quietly post the tarballs, 2) announce to the dev list only, 3) let packagers test building, and 4) upload binary packages?

Packages for Debian / Ubuntu are prepared continuously. During the integration patches for kde/HTML => tde/HTML, I'll also update the Debian / Ubuntu packages. Although are these packages prepared as original 3.5.13 + set of patches, I assume that will be used for official binary release.
However, yes, for other distributions will be process as you wrote.
