Hi All,
If we want to get the release out before
xmas, I think we should now go to freeze
officially and commit _fixes_ only, and
most importantly _build fixes_.
Some preliminary notes/questions about the release:
- Embedded TDM dwarf-2 build doesn't work
with hbmk2 and I'm not sure it would be
good to include anyway a "double decker"
C compiler (with both gcc.exe and gcc-dw2.exe).
(Plus it needs some heavier changes in hbmk2 code)
Which means the official MinGW release
could only be used, but I doubt there will be
enough time to test it generally or test
it for embedded purposes. The installation is
extremely cumbersome and error prone as I wrote.
Moreover I reported warning with QT 4.6 and MSVC,
and no one reacted, which means it's unlikely
to be fixed in a few days. MSVC + QT 4.6 is also
not fully tested or all linkage C RTL issues
fully cleared.
This means the 2.0.0 windows binary release will support
QT 4.5.x.
Anyone has any issue with this?
- whatsnew.txt is lacking, so unless someone
wants to deal with it in next few days, I'll add
a text saying:
"and a lot more feature to be detailed later"
or alike.
- If the binary release is up to me, I'll
leave out DJGPP build, since I don't possess a
dev environment for it anymore. watcom/dos build
can be included, but I'm not sure if it's
worth it.
- Should we include watcom/os2 and watcom/linux
in final win binary release? IMO the only
reason is for technological showcase, but
I doubt any win users would actually use these.
Leaving it out saves build time, package size
and upload/download time.
Brgds,
Viktor
