I wasn't alone :-) We have motivated and skilled hackers going as far as swapping hard drives in their laptop to reproduce hard to debug problems like in [0], which is amazing! Thanks to all who are debugging and fixing things, it helps tremendously (in many ways, including keeping in good spirits!) > That makes me wonder: do we even have a list of all the big changes that > made it into this branch? Would be nice to come up with a summary. I have a couple of changes on top of my head; I intend to lay them down in NEWS as soon as the version-1.4.0 branch I've been refining with more integrated bits and last minute updates is ready for one last (hopefully) big rebuild. For sure I'll have to survey the git log as I'm sure I've lost track of many great things that went in also. Thanks, Maxim [0] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52051

Thumbs up everyone and Maxim in particular for getting it past the finish line! That makes me wonder: do we even have a list of all the big changes that made it into this branch? Would be nice to come up with a summary. Ludo’.

We could batch others as well; I know that bumping our xorg package to the recently released 1.7.3 would be nice to fix the spurious warnings. [1] [0] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52269 [1] https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2021-December/003120.html Thanks all for the great collaboration that went into readying core-updates-frozen for the merge! :-) Maxim

It was not an easy process, but your energy really kept things moving. I’ve been a happy c-u-f user for a while now, and the updates are really terrific!

core-updates-frozen branch merged
Hello Guix! In case you hadn't taken notice, the core-update-frozen branch was finally merged into master. So please reconfigure your remotes to avoid uploading any further work there :-). A tentative release preparation branch 'version-1.4.0' was then created from master, where release-specific enhancements can go. Things broken on master as it stands should be fixed there, and we can cherry pick these fixes into the release branch. That's it! Enjoy the latest additions and improvements, and report any issues you encounter! Thank you, Maxim
