Hi,
Prompted by Evgeny's suggestion to move forward with releasing
Subversion
1.15.0[1], I'd like to suggest getting a new minor release of Serf
out of
the door as well - preferrably first!
There are a few features in Subversion that depend on recent
development in
Serf (for example the error reporting) and it would be nice to have it
released together.
Brane has made a summary in Jira, see SERF-208[2], open points copied
below:
* Generalized error callbacks, discussed in [3]. From what I can see we
have an error callback mechanism that works for SSL errors. There is
also
code in Subversion to support this. We need to decide if [a] We are
happy
with the current situation, or [b] Can someone step up to improve it.
Personally, I'm leaning towards [a].
* Issue SERF-195, which is a substantial rewrite of the request
queues. The
code is in a separate branch SERF-195. The code looks good to me but I
haven't analyzed in detail. It should be possible to merge to trunk.
* Issue SERF-209, concerning intermitent test suite failures under
MacOS. I
would suggest to leave this aside for later.
Can we get these decided/merged and roll a release? I think it would be
good to do this in trunk before branching.
Kind regards,
Daniel

We dropped the ball again :)
What is left now? I updated the API compatibility table on the web
site some time ago. With, I must say, a lot of fun trying to build all
the Serf releases since 1.0.0, but I somehow succeeded anyway. There's
nothing interesting there.
I meant 0.1.0. I had to build OpenSSL 0.9 for that one, and I had a hard
time downloading the sources for that. Somehow the Internet these days
believes I shouldn't even see them, let alone build them, heh.
