Following on David's email, It's been over a year since we last
branched a stable release. Should we try to do another one soon?
I guess so.
I really wanted to get base much more compatible with the latest
MacOS-X before doing another stable release, but I just haven't had
the time to do any real work on that, so realistically it's not
worth waiting.
I don't see any reason at all not to make a new stable release of
gui/back, but perhaps Fred knows differently.
A new stable release is fine for me. I think the current code is far
better then the 0.12 release and I don't see any mayor
incompatibility change coming up in the near future.
There is one thing I should do before a new back release, that is
test with cairo 1.6.4 to see how to avoid the black bars that have
been reported. I hope to do this on the weekend, after that a
release should be possible.
Just one more question: Are we all confident that the big changes I
made to NSWindow and GSLayoutManager are now stable enough? They
work perfectly for me, but that isn't a real test.
Can we officially deprecate the x11 back end in this release and
recommend Cairo? The OpenBSD package, for example, uses the x11 back
end and I don't think this gives people the best impression of
GNUstep. I've been using Cairo since AlpenStep last year and after
Fred fixed a few bugs about a month later I've had no problems with it
at all.
