Hi all, Now that we are nearing the dates mentioned previously, I thought it was time to outline some specific dates for working towards the release of 0.8. I am actually away on vacation now until the 21st, so the dates work around that slightly:
Friday October 22nd: Cut first test build for initial review, generate RAT output. Monday October 25th (5PM UTC): trunk frozen, bug fixes only. Oct 2X/Nov 0X: Create additional test builds as/when required. Friday November 5th: Take a 0.8-release branch from trunk, increment the version numbers on both. Trunk opens for 0.9 development. Release Candidate process begins from the 0.8-release branch. November XX: Once the latest Release Candidate is deemed stable, vote for its promotion to the release build. JIRA's with fix-for of 0.7 should now be getting updated and if necessary moved to unknown/0.9 fix-for if they aren't going to be committed in time for 0.8. I will be wielding a big stick against the remaining 0.7 JIRAs that aren't RTR/In Progress when the freeze takes effect on October 25th :) In terms of documentation, the only release-specific task I am aware of needing done to accompany the release would be to publish the latest version to the website renamed as 0.8, and copied with a new 0.9 link. Is that correct Jonathan?
