Greetings all I will be your release manager for NetSurf 2.5 ;-)
This release is scheduled to be released on Sunday 18th April (9 days time) I had hoped to be branching trunk this Sunday (11th) and having a week to stabalise. This aspriration looks increasingly unlikely as the outsanding issue list on http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/NetSurf_2.5 shows, there is still much to do. I will *not* be branching 2.5 untill jmb has landed his "fix the damm recursion" branch and the RISC OS front end is fixed. I am, however, prepared to push the release back untill wednesday 21st, any later and I am uncomfortable with having something useful for the wakefiled show on the 24th. I have been keeping a close eye on frontends and have decided that for the 2.5 release it is only going to be possible to release the GTK and RISC OS frontend as fully supported editions. This decision is of course subject to review (especialy for the Amiga front end which I know Chris has put a *lot* of work into but I cannot test. Any release decision is therefore down to Chris) The front ends which are not released as supported editions (beos, framebuffer and windows) I suggest, if we publish builds at all, they are provided strictly as "technology demonstrations" ensuring we make it absolutely clear that no support is provided and these fronends do not represent the full future capability of NetSurf on those platforms. Please If you have any constructive feedback, now is the time to give it! -- Regards Vincent
