Geert and I had that conversation today and we decided to proceed with starting 3.990 test releases around the end of April, aiming for an end-of-June 4.0 release. C++options will go into master after we release 4.0. Regards, John Ralls > On Mar 23, 2020, at 5:22 PM, John Ralls wrote: > >

As long as the refactor doesn't change behavior and hasn't been changed in master it might as well go in maint as master. We merge up periodically so both benefit. Regards, John Ralls > On Mar 24, 2020, at 9:30 PM, jean wrote: > > I have a possibly silly question. If the migration to 4.0 is

I think: the transition 3.x to 4.x is roughly: - new features incompatible to current code go into 4.x - 3.x can potentially understand/read 4.x datafiles - unused code in 3.x can get marked deprecated - bug fixes and code cleanup in 3.x - 3.x is merged into 4.x periodically so that 4.x receive

I have a possibly silly question. If the migration to 4.0 is somewhat near, what point is there in cleaning up the code in 3.x or removing hacks etc or even adding new features? Am I missing something? Jean On 3/23/20 5:55 PM, Chris Graves wrote: For all you devs, it’s understood(or it should

For all you devs, it’s understood(or it should be) that what you do for this project is a labor of love. Take your time, relax and just enjoy the fixes/enhancements that you bring to this project. Who cares if a deadline needs to slip, just have fun!!! Thank you devs!!! Chris > On Mar 23,

It's up in the air. The major sticking point is that I'm working on a major rewrite of the options system from an ugly mixture of C and Scheme to C++. I'd hoped to have it far enough along by now to start test releases, but it's not. The back end is mostly done and I'm 3/4 through with the GUI.

How far along are you on 4.0? Is the planned 28 June 2020 release reasonable? J. On 3/23/20 2:12 PM, Christopher Lam wrote: For a /very/ high level overview, see the design goals at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule Or, write tests and refactor the existing hacks. Or, feel free

2020-03-23 Thread jeanl
Devs, Can you point me to something you think needs to be looked at sooner rather than later in the gnucash code? I find that bugzilla does not give a good image of bug priority, but I'm sure you guys have a good idea of what needs to be fixed next. I wouldn't mind helping with that. Thanks, Jean
