I think it's important to put out a release soon to mark the merger of compiz and beryl, and the current 0.6 branch point marks a point in time where all the compiz fusion plugins have been updated to work with the new compiz core, but no big new changes have been added yet.

I don't know - I think it makes more sense to just fix as many bugs as we can up until the release date and then push it out.

"Mid September" sounds just the wrong side of good to me... Mandriva's freeze is currently scheduled for the 10th :/ Depending how things go, we can perhaps push through a 0.6 upgrade after freeze, especially with the contributions from other distro's to make it more stable, but it would be nice from my perspective if you changed "mid" to "beginning of" ;) Still we can't all be in sync as much as it would make things simpler :p Cheers Col ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz

The XCB requirement is > something I'd like to avoid for this release. Yeah, I also think we definitely don't want the XCB requirement in the 0.6 release (sidenote: When will the libX11 1.1.2 specfile in CVS land in rawhide? ;-) ). > The options rewrite > looks like a big improvement, but it breaks compiz-fusion > compatibility, so I think it makes sense to not include that in 0.6 > either. The CF compatibility is no big deal, we just need a few days to adapt the code. The plugins, libcompizconfig and the backends are already done; just the python bindings and ccsm is missing at the moment. The more interesting question from my POV is if we want to pull the action changes in due to their size. They bring good improvements, but big changesets always may bring along some regressions; and our time window for release is not too big. Any thoughts on that? > Since I have some interest in seeing the 0.6 release go out, I can > volunteer to drive that unless somebody else wants to. I started charry-picking to the 0.6 branch, but if you have some spare time, help is always appreciated ;-) I will pick up the plain bug fixes from master over the next few days. > I have a few > patches over here that I think are suitable for the 0.6 branch > > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/compiz/log/?h=fedora > > Aside from those changes, my plan for 0.6 is to just collect what > fixes come in from fedora and other distros and then release 0.6 > mid-september. How does that sound? That sounds pretty good - actually, I wanted to propose a release within 4-6 weeks when I read your mail, so our schedules seem to match :-) I'd think we have a look at the patches the distros carry (Fedora, OpenSuse and especially Ubuntu, as those are the guys who want to enable Compiz by default) and the bug trackers and do a release when there are no show-stopping and/or annoying bugs left.

The XCB requirement is something I'd like to avoid for this release. The options rewrite looks like a big improvement, but it breaks compiz-fusion compatibility, so I think it makes sense to not include that in 0.6 either. Since I have some interest in seeing the 0.6 release go out, I can volunteer to drive that unless somebody else wants to. I have a few patches over here that I think are suitable for the 0.6 branch http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/compiz/log/?h=fedora Aside from those changes, my plan for 0.6 is to just collect what fixes come in from fedora and other distros and then release 0.6 mid-september. How does that sound? ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz

The release number probably got wrong, though. It should probably have been 0.7.0. I'll get this right in the next release. I'm not sure what will end up in 0.6 and not. I'm not going to be much in charge of what goes into 0.6 and not. We can revert the commit that added the XCB requirement and re-base the 0.6 branch on head if people are interested in that. -David ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
