David and I talked it over on IRC today, so this is just for the record since no one else was around. David assured me the patches are low risk, so I recommended he try for 3.0 even though it's last minute, since new translatable strings are a tougher sell in stable updates. We'll need to beg the release team for a string and possibly code freeze break (code freeze for 3.0 is Monday at 23:59 UTC). It helps if we can point the release team to a bug with patches so they can read it over and make a more informed risk assessment. David said he's on it. I also had him go ahead an remove the ESoapMessage and ESoapResponse APIs so they can be reworked. A soname bump in libedataserver would be tremendously disruptive right now, and I think the odds of anyone else using these new APIs already is slim enough that we can get away with just silently yanking them. GLib pulled the same stunt recently with the GApplication API, so there's precedent. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
