Thanks for the numerous defect fixes that have come in. I think we are ready to move to the phase of validating the quality of the trunk with lots of test suites.
Prasad from AMD sent email on Feb 25 listing a number of test suites he is planning to validate with. I think now is a good time to do those runs and let us know the results. Others should also go through their release testing. I would like to propose March 20 as the date to finish running the test suites and reporting results. Thanks. - Suneel On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 8:57 AM, Suneel Jain <suneel.j...@gmail.com> wrote: > Update on the 4.2.4 release planned for end of March 2011: > > - We entered stage 2 (bug fixes only) on Feb 1.
