RJBS and I have spoken, and feel it is time to set a release date for Test2/Test-Builder. We have agreed that doing it at the QAH in Rugby is a good time. The plan is to release Test2 and the new Test::Builder as stable either at the end of the first day, or the start of the second day (so the 21st or 22nd of april). This gives a full day for people to grab me in person to talk about it, and address any issues. It also gives 2 full days after the release where my attention can be fully devoted if any issues are discovered post-release.
I expect little if any changes to occur in the code between now and then. Possibly some small bug fixes, documentation updates, etc. nothing big. I will continue to listen to any feedback that is provided, and take any necessary action. In the meantime RJBS is going to be pinging stakeholders from the punch-list ( https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/wiki/Test-Builder-v1.3-Punchlist) to make sure all requirements have been met. What exactly is going stable? * Test2 (experimental notices will be removed) * Test::Builder that uses Test2 under the hood (as seen here: https://metacpan.org/release/EXODIST/Test-Simple-1.302013_014) * Test2-Suite (experimental notices will be removed) * Final Test2/Test-Simple patch for perl blead (Test-Suite is not going into blead) I look forward to seeing you all in Rugby! -Chad
