Re: [racket-dev] Release for v5.3 has begun
For various reasons, the release is running late. The release committee -- Robby, Jay, Ryan and I -- have therefore decided to accelerate the release schedule a bit: -- 17th create release branch (lasts until tomorrow 10am) -- 23rd begin testing -- 24th call for release announcement -- August 1 release Notice the stringently shortened bug fix and test cycle. If you have any problems with this shortened cycle, please speak up now. -- Matthias On Jul 17, 2012, at 7:28 PM, Ryan Culpepper wrote: > The release process for v5.3 has begun: the `release' branch was > created for any work that is left and is now bumped to v5.2.900.0.

[racket-dev] Release for v5.3 has begun
The release process for v5.3 has begun: the `release' branch was created for any work that is left and is now bumped to v5.2.900.0. You can go on using the `master' branch as usual, it is now bumped to v5.3.0.16 (to avoid having two different trees with the same version). If you have any bug-fixes and changes that need to go in the release then make sure to specify that in the commit message or mail me the commit SHA1s. You can `git checkout release' to try it out directly if needed -- but do not try to push commits on it (the server will forbid it). Please make sure that code that you're responsible for is as stable as possible, and let me know if there is any new work that should not be included in this release. >> NOW IS THE TIME TO FIX BUGS THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT <<< The time between the `release' branch creation and the actual release is for fixing new errors that prevent proper functioning of major components and that show up during the preparation for a release. You can also finalize piece of work that is not yet complete, but please avoid merging new features. Note that nightly builds will go on as usual (as v5.3.0.16), and pre-release builds will be available shortly at http://pre.racket-lang.org/release/ Please tell me if you think that this release is significant enough that it should be announced on the users list for wider testing. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
[racket-dev] Release for v5.3 has begun
The release process for v5.3 has begun: the `release' branch was created for any work that is left and is now bumped to v5.2.901.1. You can go on using the `master' branch as usual, it is now bumped to v5.3.0.1 (to avoid having two different trees with the same version). If you have any bug-fixes and changes that need to go in the release then make sure to specify that in the commit message or mail me the commit SHA1s. You can `git checkout release' to try it out directly if needed -- but do not try to push commits on it (the server will forbid it). Please make sure that code that you're responsible for is as stable as possible, and let me know if there is any new work that should not be included in this release. >> NOW IS THE TIME TO FIX BUGS THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT <<< The time between the `release' branch creation and the actual release is for fixing new errors that prevent proper functioning of major components and that show up during the preparation for a release. You can also finalize piece of work that is not yet complete, but please avoid merging new features. Note that nightly builds will go on as usual (as v5.3.0.1), and pre-release builds will be available shortly at http://pre.racket-lang.org/release/ Please tell me if you think that this release is significant enough that it should be announced on the users list for wider testing. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
