All,
I am now officially back from my holiday vacation away from TDE.
Hope you enjoyed your holidays!
I would like to get R14.0.0 squared away and out the
door in the next few
months if possible; thoughts on the current status of the nightly builds
are welcome. I know quite a few bugs remain, however many critical bugs
have been repaired and I don't want to hold those fixes (which cannot be
ported to the 3.5.13.x series) back much longer.
Looks like we have 38 total critical and blocker bugs to resolve.
How does a tentative release date of April 15, 2013
sound? This means
that the remaining blocker bugs need to be resolved by February 2013 in
order to get the R14 release candidate into the hands of our QA team with
sufficient time for them to find and resolve quality problems before
release. A tentative final source release date would be March 15; this
would allow 2 weeks for the binary build maintainers to update their
packages before release, and a week or two for the mirrors to sync with
the new packages.
Not to mention documentation, press release, and such getting done
before the release. I think those last two weeks during the mirror
setup should be also for that.
