Hello all, I missed all of you, I am sure you had a great time at desktop summit, but the fun is not over, it's tarball time again! Roll your editors, polish your NEWS files, 3.1.5 is coming.
Once it's out, we will enter the API/ABI freeze and the feature freeze. If you are not sure what they are about exactly there is this page for you: http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes (and you should certainly not hesitate to ask). Tarballs are due on 2011-08-15 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.1.5 unstable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.1.5. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! No API or ABI changes should be made in the platform libraries. For instance, no new functions, no changed function signatures or struct fields. This provides a stable development platform for the rest of the schedule. There should usually be a "Slushy" API/ABI Freeze before the Hard API/ABI Freeze, to encourage developers to think about API problems while they have a chance to correct them. API freeze is not required for non-platform libraries, but is recommended. For more information about 3.1, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.1 page: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see: http://live.gnome.org/Schedule Cheers, Fred -- devel-announce-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce-list
