In my opinion after beta5 we could wait and see if any crash bug appear, if
not is because we are ready to a RC then a final release.
At the moment we have just two P2 bugs registered on our bugzilla and both are
bugs about compilation errors probably caused by some missconfigured
environment, the P3 bugs (we have 17) are normal bugs that can be fixed during
the 1.0 lifetime and P4 bugs are just enhancements that would be nice to have.
so IMO the numbers says that we are pretty stable for a beta release and is
time to go forward.
I tend to agree with Hugo: if there're no major known issues and we
think the general quality level is otherwise sufficient, there's not
much point in waiting any further. Sure, there'll still be undetected
bugs remaining, some of which most likely are pretty major, but just
waiting for them is not really productive as it prevents us also from
going further.
Only critical bugs should be fixed between the RC and the final release, any
other bugs should go to another branch for the 1.0.1 or 1.1.0 release to avoid
regressions at the maximum.
I fully agree.
2 or 3 months is a huge time gap IMO, we aren't a distro! :-P, I think one
release per month is a good cadence for packagers, devels and people that
report a bug and want to see the fix packaged.
Yes, I don't think doing bugfix releases every 2 or 3 months would serve
us. The bugfixing speed would be terrible (our regular users do NOT want
to compile the latest git HEAD version, nor would it be even feasible
e.g. on MeeGo, Harmattan, and Fremantle platforms).
Matti, I think the 1.0 lifetime will be long enough, anyway we need to keep on
bug fixing, probably the bug reports will slow down a bit giving us more time
to think about improvements to PySide, so I think we can keep fixing bugs and
creating experimental parallel projects/branches like the Renato idea of doing
a more introspective binding, work on reduce the bindings memory footprint and
size, work on the so requested QtCreator integration, etc.
Yes, I'm also very much expecting the bug reports to slow down. Maybe
not right after the 1.0 release, because at that point the amount of
users will probably increase quite a bit, but at some point in the near
future, nevertheless.
Cheers,
ma.
