I'm pretty happy where we stand now -- I just squashed the last two failing tests (test_mailbox and test_oldmailbox). It is 9:30 pm here and I'm tired, so I'm going to try and get a good night's sleep and do the release as early as I can tomorrow.
Remember, I'll freeze the branch (not a real lock, just a request to stop submitting) tomorrow (Friday) around 6 am my time -- that's 9 am US east coast, 15:00 in most of western Europe. I'd appreciate it if there were no broken unit tests then. :-) If there are urgent things that I need to look at, put them in the bug tracker, set priority to urgent, version to Python 3.0, and assign them to me. Please exercise restraint in making last-minute sweeping changes (except to the docs). Please do review README, RELNOTES (new!), Misc/NEWS, and especially Doc/whatsnew/3.0.rst, (and the rest of the docs) and add what you feel ought to be added. You can also preview the web page I plan to use for the release -- it's not linked from anywhere yet, but here it is anyway: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/. Those of you lucky enough to be able to edit it, please go ahead; others, add suggestions to the bug tracker as above. Note that this page ends with a complete copy of the release notes; I expect to be adding more release notes after the release has been published, once we figure out what else isn't working. I expect 3.0a2 to follow within 2-4 weeks; the alpha release process is relatively light-weight now that I've figured out most of the details. PS. PEP 101 needs a serious rewrite. It still talks about CVS. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
