I disagree with this.. >From Tuesday to Friday is simply not reasonable for the volunteer efforts that are ongoing and in some cases have been ongoing for a long time to produce some sort of results. Personally I have three items of high interest which I would like to see in the next release, in no particular order: 1. Efforts by Tomek and Simon toward SWD 2. Cleaning up the total mess regarding libusb-1.0 in OpenOCD 3. Andreas' new FTDI MPSSE driver By 1. I do not mean that next release must support SWD, but I do mean that openocd.git must have developed in an agreed-upon direction. Simon and Tomek have both put a lot of effort into this and I want to see some of that go into the release, even if there is more work to come. 2. and 3. go partly hand-in-hand, since mpsse uses libusb-1.0. One approach for 2. is to revert the use of libusb-1.0 in OpenOCD completely, which affects the jlink, osbdm and stlink_usb drivers. Another is to try to patch up the code so that it is at least not an absolute mess. The latter requires significantly more effort. After reverting, mpsse could be added along with somehow clean libusb-1.0 support in the build system, and libusb-1.0 would not be used by any other code. The USB abstraction needs fixing real bad, I don't think it's something we want to release. I urge you to have a look at it Jean-Christophe, ideally along with the review I provided which was unaddressed before the code was merged. In any case I think it's unlikely that anyone will be able to contribute anything significant in just a few days. I'm not against doing a release soon, but I think perhaps two weeks or so would allow contributors a chance to plan and perform some final pushes into gerrit. //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
