Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Upcoming releases: 2.5.1 and 2.4.5

[Jacob Nevins]

S2_5 and S2_4 strings are now frozen (for 2.5.1 and 2.4.5 respectively),
aiming at a release next weekend (15-16 Aug).

Draft release notes for both:



For S2_4, I do plan to make a release, mainly because of what's already
on the branch, but I'm not putting much effort into testing. It's
probably best to stick to low-risk bugfixes, preferably ones that have
already had some exercise on later branches.

know about has been committed):

 I've now - after the latest strings changes earlier today - uploaded
up-to-date po-files to http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/translations/
 If anyone commits further string changes to S2_4 or S2_5, I would
appreciate if you let me know in #freeciv-dev so I can again update
cazfi.net files as soon as possible.

 Given that S2_5 is already so mature, I've sort of forgotten S2_4
already. AFAIK there's no community servers running 2.4 games which
would require having a new release from S2_4 instead of going to
S2_5/2.5.1. If you decide to make 2.4.5, let me know soon, so I can
backport and test some more recent fixes from S2_5 there.

[Freeciv-Dev] Upcoming releases: 2.5.1 and 2.4.5

[Jacob Nevins]

I intend to make a 2.5.1 release sometime in August. Tentatively
thinking string freeze next weekend (8-9), release following weekend
(15-16). Draft release notes are at


I haven't yet scrubbed the open bugs to see whether there are any
high-priority fixes to get in. My window for doing Freeciv stuff extends
through the end of August, so a release can slip up to two weeks before
being postponed.

I'm also inclined to do a final 2.4 release at the same time, 2.4.5, to
collect up the six months or so of bugfixes on that branch, and then
close the branch. This would be a low-effort thing, and it wouldn't take
much to dissuade me from doing it at all. If anyone has a specific use
for such a release, do say.
Since many translators have moved on to S2_5, I'm inclined to say we
should make no further string changes on this branch from now on,
although strings have already changed since 2.4.4.

I haven't thought terribly hard about how serious it is, but there's
been enough other last minute stuff.

Let's postpone the releases for a week, until the weekend of 8-9 Feb.

String freeze is still in effect.

Thanks to those who've already submitted translations.

I could, but it would be a bit tight. I'd have to finish by 1530 UT, so
I would have to kick things off on Sunday morning (giving all of
Saturday for testing).
(The release doesn't take much of my time, but the uploads take a while,
and have to complete before I can complete all the announcement
ceremonies.)

Indeed, this is desirable.

On the other hand, I was just writing an email that I'm starting to get
a little nervous about releasing this weekend, as we're getting a number
of scary-looking changes quite close to the end of the week -- 
bug #21523 (pathfinding; maybe I shouldn't be scared of this?),
bug #21547 (find_next_free_port(); scary because platform-dependent)
with little opportunity to find further regressions.

On balance, if at least one other person is doing organised testing on
Saturday, then I'm still content to go ahead, but if we find any more
last-minute issues I'm inclined to slip a week.

OK, will not treat this as a blocker.

(For what it's worth, I just tried starting a local game briefly with
cproc's testing/Freeciv-2.4.1-win32-gtk3-setup.exe on a WinXP machine,
and the graphics did not seem completely broken. So that forms some kind
of baseline, maybe.)

 Could you do it on Sunday? I don't think I would be confident enough
with the testing to release Saturday. While Sunday release might mean
that Windows binaries are built week later than sources are released,
this would still give us some chance to get 2.4.2 to Ubuntu LTS.

 I have not reproduced it on Win7, so it's probably XP specific. I
would accept the corner-case that experimental gtk3-client does not
work on almost-obsolete WinXP. It's also possible theat this is just
specific to crosser, and latest version of it in that (gtk2-client in
XP has some problems caused by the libpng version shipped in crosser,
this could be similar problem)

 Yes, and that's now tested and as the S2_4 is where it affects the
default client (gtk2-client is accompanied with gtk3 modpack
installer) I think it still should go in before 2.4.2

 My other patches waiting committing
 - bug #21547 (find_next_free_port() hangs on Windows making
single-player games impossible for average player)
 - patch #4457 (update specialist gfx to get them right from the first release)

I'd naturally want to go for this weekend to get it out ASAP. Things I
can see that might postpone it:
 - the possible Gtk3 regression you mentioned
 - pathfinding changes haven't quite converged yet (bug #21523); we
   a decent pause after the last one lands
 - lack of translator engagement after a long hiatus -- I've not seen
   much activity yet

(I haven't really done any testing yet beyond basic usage.)

 Those do count of course, but I think even c) we support windows
gtk3-client in source code, though we don't ship official binaries of
it. I don't want reggressions compared to 2.4.1.

 Maybe it's my imagination, or fluctuations in other load on my
computer, but when I tested the latest pixbuf unref patch, I noticed
(surprising) speed difference with and without the patch in linux (I
don't understand how it could affect speed, but maybe there's some
internal lists in libraries used that get slower when there's more
pixbufs in memory?).

 I just tested crosser-based S2_4 build on Win7 and gfx seemed to
work. But so it worked when I tested the build reported to be broken
in XP. Also, client (both gt2k and gtk3) halted every time I tried to
spawn server - I had to run server separately instead. That's despite
me testing the "-A none" commandline -patch (the obvious suspect) on
same setup before it was committed.

Since we're not yet shipping the Windows Gtk3 client, I assume you're
treating this as a blocker out of concern for (a) non-Windows Gtk3
function, (b) possible non-Gtk3 brokenness, until we understand the root
cause?

(If we end up using new Windows Gtk3 libraries, I think it's worth cproc
doing another test build, to see what state we're in.)

 Windows gtk3-client might be badly broken. I've got a report that one
crosser-based build I made just a couple of days ago doesn't show any
graphics at all. While the sources used in the build are nothing we're
about to release, changes to that tree since previous working build
have been mostly patches that have gone to S2_4 too. I'll test and
debug what I can, but we cannot release anything before we've
confirmed that it works.

 When you need to know which weekend to reserve for the releasing? At
the moment I'd say next weekend is preferred, but that assumes we can
get some testing done in time, and without finding any issues. In
theory we could get Windows installer fixes tested and, depending on
the result, committed, if we waited one more week, but they are not
important enough to alone postpone the release.

I've not found any urgent pending fixes requiring string changes, and
cazfi and I are already acting as if we're in string freeze, so I'm
declaring strings frozen on S2_4 until 2.4.2 is released. (Shout if I've

[Freeciv-Dev] Upcoming releases: 2.3.5 and 2.4.2

[Jacob Nevins]

We've had a couple of important bug fixes recently, which means it's
about time for a new stable release, 2.4.2. I don't have a date yet, but
it should be soonish.

At the same time, I'm minded to do the "oldstable" 2.3.5 release we've
talked about, and then finally close the S2_3 branch.

The notable fixes that I'm thinking of:

 - http://gna.org/bugs/?21279
   information leak and frequent client crash in multiplayer (2.3.x and 2.4.x)
 - http://gna.org/bugs/?21359
   air units committing suicide on goto (2.4.x+ only, not in 2.3.4)
   and related improvements in pathfinding

We've still got to weed out some regressions before release (notably
bugs #21523 and #21524), so release isn't imminent. Further testing of
these branches would be welcome, as there has been a fair amount of
activity recently.

Translations:

S2_3 has remained in string freeze, so needs no new work (although
updates to existing translations are always welcome).

S2_4 is not yet in string freeze, and there are still string changes to
come. However, we'll probably postpone some string changes until after
2.4.2 to avoid creating too much translation work on short notice.

[Freeciv-Dev] Upcoming releases

[Daniel Markstedt]

Hi,

We're planning two Freeciv releases in the beginning of the next month.

First one is a stable bugfix release, 2.2.6, targeted for July 3rd.

Second one will be from the 2.3 branch. We haven't entirely made up
our minds whether the code is stable enough for a Release Candidate,
or whether we need another beta: 2.3.0-beta5. In any case, we aim to
get it out on July 17th.

Thanks,

Daniel

[Freeciv-Dev] Upcoming releases

[Daniel Markstedt]

There are two Freeciv releases coming up:

- Freeciv 2.2.4 on Dec 5.

- Freeciv 2.3.0-beta1 on Dec 14.

Both S2_2 and S2_3 branches are in a string freeze state, so you
should be able to safely wrap up your translations.

It's always safest to work directly on the respective svn branches,
but for your convenience there are also mostly up to date po files
from each branch served from Marko's web server:
http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/translations/

The latest po stats for S2_2 follows.

es: 5271 translated messages.
ca: 5264 translated messages, 7 fuzzy translations.
