If I may be very blunt: I don't think we are very close to a 0.2.0 release. It seems (based on bug reports) the recent changes broke some of the existing functionality. That needs to be tested fixed first. IMHO release 0.2.0 should have at least the same functionality that 0.1.0 had.

Hi Zach, thanks for a good post followup on this. I'll try to adjust to the new rules of engagement and stop committing willy nilly. W.r.t. when 0.2 should go out of the door, I'm thinking that we should have a few days without finding and fixing regressions before we say it's time to release.

What about cutting the release and waiting a week to see if something worthwhile appears that makes you want to cut the release from a newer svn version? Allowing commits meanwhile, but encouraging postponements of more crazy stuff + commits for collaboration purposes. Cutting the release from

We need to find some balance.  Right now, the presses are too heavily biased toward development to the extent that release suffers badly. I definitely want to see a reset of the release timeout counter when we discover such problems as we have seen in the last week. The step bug alone would

However, there does need to be a limit to the number of resets that we allow for new issues. Agreed. Though I believe that it is a hypothetical situation where we discover major flaws every few days. *If* we did, then we *should* hold off the release. Have we discovered anything but the reset

Hi all, With my latest series of commits, I believe that the release process is finally ready to see action. That said, we have seen a bit of bug-fixing activity during the time that I have been preparing, and several new patches have hit the repository. The countdown is on hold. The new

I've determined that single stepping is busted for svn head arm926ejs using parport against wi-9c.cfg (bisecting this now). One concern that I have with 0.2 is that it contains a lot of *great* refactoring work, but this is unobservable to the casual user. It will take a *long* time get testing
