I want to make at least a first release candidate before the end of the year. I'm currently only fixing bug. I know that Fabien must make a usable gb.report component and Laurent has just added a few things in gb.sdl recently. Before doing the RC (2.99.1), I have to think a bit to see what must be changed in the language syntax to be sure that Gambas 3 will be stable until the next version. I have to check all components: - A component that is not maintained anymore should be removed. - A component, like gb.firebird, that do not have actually a GPL-compatible license should be removed as well. - The state of component must be up to date too (stable, not finished, beta). Just after the RC, there are a lot of things to do, besides bug fixing: - I want to have a bug tracker. I have setup the Google one, but it is not activated yet. - Everybody should try to ensure that his distribution will have correct packages of Gambas. - I'd like to have another look for the web site. - I'd like people who converted their Gambas 2 project to Gambas 3 by hand to write about their experience on a wiki page, so that I will be able to make a converter helper tool in the IDE. - I must then write better internal documentation to try to attract developers. So is the plan! -- Benoît Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
