I would like a little time for the QA team to contact extension developers to update their extensiosn for 3.14 a week before release. We have not agreed yet in QA whether we are going to do that specifically, but it's one of the things that I want QA to do as part of making the release work well for those who try it. I'm hoping most of this is temporary after gnome-shell code base stabilizes ehough that there isn't so many extensions that break. Still they need to be given a chance and also we should update our agreement with extension writers that it is okay to modify code prioir to a release to make it work for the next release. sri > andre > -- > Andre Klapper | [email protected] > http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team > Release-team lurker?
