The remaining issues James was working on were concerning the automatic build process. He was close to finishing and make Hudson provide _complete_ (that is including _basic_ fgdata) installers for Mac/Windows. There were remaining issues due to the huge size of the installers though - since data gets copied over the network. And then he got buried under a pile of RL work for a while. The 2.2 release itself was branched in January (first sg+fg and a few weeks later also fgdata). And I think we've fixed all the show stoppers for the 2.2 branch. We've had a few more fixes on the "next" branch since, but these mainly affected new code issues, which were not yet part of 2.2. I think the release branch got a fair amount of testing - and is very stable (feels much more stable than 2.0 to me, if I may say :) ). So, as far as I'm concerned, if we can manually provide Mac/Windows installers, we could just tag and release now (come on, let's have a new release to show off at LinuxTag! :) ). The 2.2 branch may look a little outdated to git/next users by now. But I'd still stick with releasing the existing branch as 2.2. We've already committed lot's of new code to "next" since, so that would take more work/time to be ready. And we can still have another release (2.3/2.4) in a few months - and don't need to wait for another year again... cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
