In my role as the release manager for the next Open64 compiler release, I would like to communicate the current plan. This was discussed and approved in the last meeting of the Open64 Steering Group. There has been significant new functionality, performance improvements, defect fixes and infrastructure improvements since the 4.2.3 release, The next release will follow the planned cycle of annual updates.
The plan is to stop active development on trunk by Jan 31, 2011. All new functionality and enhancements for the 4.2.4 release need to be checked in by this date. If this date does not work for you, please let me know and we can make adjustments to this date. The bug fix (stage 2) for the release is planned for Feb 1 - Mar 20. This period is for going through the release testing and fixing of defects uncovered in the process or to fix open defects from the Bugzilla database. On March 20, we would create a branch for the 4.2.4 release and open the trunk for active development for the next release. After a final round of testing, the plan is to post the 4.2.4 release bits by March 31, 2011. I would like to request anyone who has made checkins since March 15, 2010 to consider updating the "changes in 4.2.4" document, which is under the Open64 Wiki: http://wiki.open64.net/index.php/ActiveDevelopment If you can volunteer for test builds, running test suites or doing performance measurements on different platforms during the the Feb-March stage 2 time, please let me know. - Suneel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
