Hi all, Today is the agreed date for the code freeze on DSpace 1.6.1. The week from now until 21st May is to enable thorough testing of all the changes we've committed, without the dspace-1_6_x branch changing significantly while we do it.
This means: - New JIRA issues won't be reviewed for inclusion into 1.6.1 - Any patches not yet committed won't be included PDF/HTML documentation is going to be generated at the end of testing to allow for any small changes (wording, etc) we may have throughout the week. There are some exceptions to the above rule -- there are some important updates to dspace-services which haven't quite been committed yet, and there's a date bug I'd like to fix if I can figure it out in the next few days. Committers: Please check with me (the earlier the better!) before committing anything not already in the "Fix for 1.6.1" list so we can consider how critical the inclusion is, how to organise the extra testing around it, and what documentation changes it might need. Developers: Please make a noise if you are aware of critical/show-stopper bugs this release does not fix. Everybody: Help with testing is always appreciated -- this is going to be the main activity over the next 7 days. The SVN area to check out is: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/branches/dspace-1_6_x All 1.6.1 JIRA issues (resolved and unresolved) are listed here: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10020&fixfor=10030 If you've found a problem with one of the included bugfixes but can't find the specific JIRA issue to comment on, emailing the dspace-devel list is the next best thing. I will talk to the folks at DuraSpace about the possibility of a snapshot on demo.dspace.org (or similar) to help testing by those who don't have time/resources to build their own test environments. I think that's all.. if this notice seems late, it's because it's actually the morning of the 15th in New Zealand and I didn't want to get up at 4am on a Saturday ;-) Cheers! Kim Shepherd (1.6.1 Release Coordinator)
