It looks like we've got a good set of issues fixed for 2.0.10 and things
are starting to stabilize. We'll start publishing 2.0.10 RC's as early
as today. I think we worked out a good process with the 2.0.9 release
and we should continue in that direction. The basic principles are:

 

1)      we will stop to fix any regressions between 2.0.9 and 2.0.10

2)      Nothing else should be included once we start this process

 

The initial RCs will be posted to the dev list, but naturally everyone
is welcome to try them. After we get comfortable with the stability of
the RCs here, I'll again involve the user list for broader testing of
the system. This is where we found the majority of the serious issues
last time.

 

The issues chosen for 2.0.10 were primarily regressions identified over
earlier versions and the next highest voted issues that could be solved
without risking further destabilization and regressions.

 

Because we expect to have several iterations, the RCs will be tagged as
RCs to avoid us having to rewind all the versions back many times. Once
the final RC has stabilized, we will redo the release a final time so
that the version is correct. This build will be the one voted on and
hopefully ultimately released.

 

Thanks, 

Brian
