Hi Ruben,

end of day is, when nowhere in the world it is the 30th of september anymore. 12 o'clock UTC on october the 1th. It's a weekend after the deadline anyway...

I don't mind the exact time, I hope that nobody needs to bring in last minute features. If we optimize the release process we will have releases in shorter intervals than currently, so that it will not be so important to finish a new feature just in time for this release. As Tobias pointed out in the video conference yesterday: we should have deadlines instead of feature driven releases, because we sometimes waited too long for a new feature to be completed.

Hi Rüdiger,

It would be good you clarified what is "end of day" in this case. Giving that there are people from all around the world, the concept "end of day" can vary a lot. :) Just to avoid confusions here!

Regards
Rubén

    Hi list,

    Greg Logan and I volunteered to do the release management for the
    1.3 release.

    The most important point is that we want to announce a date for
    the code freeze. This will be:
    September 30th, end of day.

    Every module that is still breaking the unit or integrations test
    then will not be part of the out of the release. The trunk should
    be error free on the 30th. So make sure to fix your bugs right in
    time, or to remove / disable your code in trunk right in time.

    If you are working on a module that will not be finished until
    then (including unit and integration tests):
    1. commit your changes to a branch
    2. merge it back to trunk after the 1.3 is released


    We are still looking for volunteers to do the QA for this release.
    If you are interested contact Greg or me.  It would be a great
    qualification for a QA if he could write integration test. Work
    and time that we spend in more tests now, will save us time in the
    QA of future releases. Keep in mind that you and your institution
    will profit from your QA work. The less bugs we have in a release
    the less trouble you will have with your production system.

    Thanks
    Rüdiger
