Hi But I have no idea the best moment QGIS dev should release the 1.7.3, anyway. @Werner I would suggest to follow the concensus of waiting for a week or so so that any further fixes can be applied, and then making a 1.7.3 release. @Paolo et al. regarding RC releases, lets hold on this idea

I think we should use the RC approach from now on. I agree on the RC approach, there are many people of there (intense gis/gqis users) that I know would be able to serve as testers during the RC phase. cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ Qgis-developer

A team of committed users (not developers so that the tests are independent) would be very useful, has this ever done or is it maybe routinely done already? As I said in previous e-mail, I agree that it woild be better to have a RC approach together with a team of users/testers. cheers --

I'm out until Saturday but i agree in both views.. 1. We should stabilize and bugclean 1.7.2 and release a new 1.7.3 (1.8.0?) soon.. 2. We should wait a bit to catch as many bugs as possible Alexander is so kind and offered his help in applying patches.. so if anyone else would help a bit I'd

Hi all. Road graph plugin gives wrong results if the OTF reprojection is enabled. This is correct in Master: could the fix be backported in 1.7.3? And, could the 1.7.3 be released ASAP? Thanks. -- Paolo Cavallini See: http://www.faunalia.it/pc ___
