[EMAIL PROTECTED]">It's not scheduled like just another milestone, of course -- the branch will be cooking a lot longer, and nightly builds from it will each be a release candidate to everyone helping us test them, including a lot of Netscape folks who will be doing a beta off the 1.0 branch, I believe (the nsbeta1[-+] keywords in bugs line up with the mozilla1.0 target milestone). A Netscape beta gets even more talkback than a Mozilla milestone release, so we @mozilla.org are all for it happening soon on the 1.0 branch.In article [EMAIL PROTECTED]"><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Brendan Eich wrote:http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html
Comments welcome.
Brendan,
I'd like to see a release candidate period for 1.0 put into place. In
the past serious bugs have slipped into milestone releases, and though
we'll likely be more careful this time about late check-ins, it seems
suicidal to indifferently schedule it as just another milestone.
But I agree with you about distinguishing release candidate nightlies: let's pick a fortnightly release candidate build and get even broader testing and talkback. We will have to clamp down on checkins pretty seriously after releasing the candidate, so as to avoid taking new bugs while fixing old ones.
I didn't put this in the roadmap but it can certainly be done. I'll promote it with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and drivers and report back. Thanks for the feedback,
