Original announcement made: http://perlwannabe.vox.com/library/post/padre-064-has-been-released.html
As announced previously a fairly major change to one of Padre's core API's is about to hit trunk. Adam Kennedy has been working on the second generation of the Task API and finally hit on a solution he's happy with. Adam discusses the new API in detail here: http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/40377. With Adam happy with the work done, we needed some time to organise a final stable release before the merge of Adams branch into trunk. 0.64 is that stable release that will see the following releases announced as unstable while the finer details of the merged in work gets sorted out. This means that any package maintainers should consider 0.64 as suitable for packaging until such time we announce a stable version, at which point we expect to have a stable Padre with the new API and all dependent tasks converted to it. For what it's worth though, Adam has pretty much migrated all existing tasks in Padre to the new API in his branch, what is really required is time to see how it all performs and holds up in general use, so do that we need it in trunk and we need to have a few releases for people to give it a good working over before declaring things stable again. Once Adam has done the merge, all plugin authors and maintainers whose plugins use the old API will need to update their plugin to the new API. We'll make sure that the when the merge is complete someone will make an announcement about it. So after all of that, what has changed for this release, not much really. With the warning of the last stable release before the merge and a number of our regular contributors busy with linuxtag and other side projects ( life is a valid side project! ) we didn't see much change in the code base. A call for translations to be in did see one come in, but with little changing the code base any language that was committed for 0.63 should still be fine: Translations - zh-cn translation updated (jagd) That sees the list of changes for this release. To see how things are progressing with the change to to the new API, feel free to hang out in the #padre channel on irc.perl.org.
