Dear QGIS devs & packagers --- Note to casual readers ---
Please do not pre-announce this release - give the packagers and release team a chance to do their thing so that people hearing about the release have a fair chance of finding a package, reading all our press material etc. --- End note --- Today I have branched QGIS 1.5.0 'Tethys' for release. It would be great if you can assist by making packages for your preferred platform. The branch can be checked out at: svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/Release-1_5_0 qgis-1_5_0 Source tarballs can be obtained from here: http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/src/qgis_1.5.0.tar.gz http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/src/qgis_1.5.0.tar.gz.md5 Please do not commit anything to the release branch except packaging related tweaks. If you make a package please be so kind as to send me an email with details of where I can download the package. Please make sure the package is wgettable since I do not have the bandwidth to first download all packages to my home pc and then up again to the download server. If you are able to make packages for unlisted platforms / distros please let me know so that we can avoid duplication of effort. I would like to make the release announcement next week, so it will be great to have as many packages as possible ready by then. SVN (Trunk) is open again for general commits - please seek guidance from Marco Hugentobler (PSC Code Manager) if you are planning any major code changes. Many thanks to all the developers, testers, bug fixers, bug reporters, document writers, translators and users that help to make QGIS a reality. Lastly can I call on the release team to put together visual changelog (I have already started with this here http://www.qgis.org/wiki/VisualChangeLog1.5.0 - please use t2t format for any additions), press announcements etc. ready for the release date? I will send you an email when the packages are ready and you can start broadcasting announcements.
