Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 3.3 Release Update - Release Candidate Deadline

[Bill Erickson]

Thanks, Dan.

FYI, I just tagged https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1776736 for
3.3-rc.  This bug relates to the MARC editor failing to save changes when
invoked from the record merge interface.  I can't say if it's a blocker,
but as I understand it, it's a commonly used work flow that needs repair.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 3.3 Release Update

[Cerninakova Eva]

 Hi Daniel,

Considering the last year discussion about integrating Angular 6 template
translations into the Evergreen translation tools, I would like to ask a
question about translation workflow of Evergreen 3.3 release. Will it
change some way in comparison with previous releases, due the impossibility
to use Launchpad for translations of Angular strings? And if so, how the
Angular strings are supposed to be translated during the 3.3 release
process? (I am asking from translators point of view.)

Thanks for the answer ;-)
Eva

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 3.3 Release Update

[Daniel Wells]

Hello all,

Two weeks have slid by once more, and today we mark, ostensibly, the
feature freeze for Evergreen 3.3.  Any new features not committed by the
end of the day will need to wait for the 3.4 release in the fall.  Once
again, here are the feature branches under consideration:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.importance%3Alist=WISHLIST&assignee_option=none&field.milestone%3Alist=86802&search=Search&orderby=title&start=0


As careful observers will note, we still have one week after today before
the 3.3 beta.  However, this exists not as a time to continue adding
features, but as a time to make corrections for obvious issues which crop
up due to feature freeze activity.  The cutoff for new features has
historically encouraged a mad dash of activity, and this scheduling gap
exists not as an excuse to postpone such dashings, but to remedy the
problems it brings.  So I gladly encourage those so inclined to dash as
madly as ever, but understand that it ends tonight!

Now, that said, if a branch is in an obvious state of active review and
revision, yet doesn't make the cutoff, please let me know and we can
probably work it in.  I intend to start doing internal building and testing
starting tomorrow morning, and will not be terribly keen on straggling code
walking in unannounced.  Thank you for your diligence and understanding.

Sincerely,
Dan

Hi Dan and everyone,

I added another wishlist item to the 3.3-beta list.  It was on the roadmap,
but not targeted in LP -- it is now, however:
