[compiz] Release plans
Hi everyone. So I'd like to start with an update saying that we've hit a pretty big milestone in our 0.9.0 plans for world domination - that is that the last plugin, DBus, has finally been ported and works. [1] The code is currently undergoing review, and once some inconsistencies are fixed up, it looks set for inclusion into master. This means that along with this, a 2D GTK Window decorator, git changes amongst other things we are extremely close to fufilling our release criteria for an unstable 0.9.0. So we need to sort out the logistics of a release. I have written a release announcement that can be found on GObby. Feel free to edit it, it's probably not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. The next thing we need to sort out is making sure all the branches have been swapped over and that everything can be found in /compiz on git. We also need to update the main page and the wiki to take into account that the 0.9 branch is the one that everyone doing development or testing should be using. I will handle publicity related stuff. There are only a few more bugs that need to be fixed before a release is all good, namely: 1. The initial stacking bug has come back again :( 2. Bug with GTK Window Decorator where reloading the decor plugin will cause ti to fail 3. Windows disappearing when they change their title / size. I think this was introduced only recently, so I can probably bisect to find out what caused it and revert that commit. Congrats everyone for staying on board and once we get 0.9.0 out of the way, we can truly say that 1.3+ years of rather boring work rewriting code is out of the way.

One thing I forgot to add on top of this is that we need to merge in Kristopher Ive's documentation changes, but this should be trivial.

[compiz] Release plans for Compiz 0.8.0
The Compiz 0.8.0 release will be the first release to include what was formerly known as Compiz Fusion. A complete feature and string freeze for Compiz 0.8 is in effect from Friday 5th of February, 23:59 GMT. I urge anyone with patches to submit them ASAP, regardless of their state. During most of Saturday, possibly spilling into Sunday, Compiz 0.8 will be branched and made ready for release. This includes cherry-picking from master in the case of Core, which has been branched for some time. After the 0.8 branch, the Compiz++ branch will be merged to master. At this time, previously auto-merged repositories will no longer automatically merge. Instead, submodules will be used for the next development cycle. More information and documentation on how to use submodules and build the new development version of Compiz will be made available this weekend. Danny Baumann has agreed to do the actual tar-balls and release, as he has done for the Compiz 0.7 development branch. The Compiz 0.8 branch can be considered a release candidate for Compiz 0.8.0 sometime on Sunday, with a final release either next week, or early the week after. I'll leave the details of this to Danny. Please note that these plans are subject to change.

To be precise, Danny is doing Compiz core and Guillaume Seguin is doing what used to be Compiz Fusion. The packaging will be similar to the 0.7 releases, but without the Fusion-bit of the name. - Kristian pgpbhXe0baHd5.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
