Not to be flippant, but it all depends on where you define "feature". It actually required more new lines of code to change the diff header than it did to add this toolbutton. You could consider this change a bug fix since the dialog allowed you to select hunks but not do anything with the selection, which was confusing. Now the hunk selection makes sense in this context. I plan to fix clipboard copying tonight by using a keyboard accelerator instead of a context menu, as you suggested. Is that a feature or is it polish? When your product is a user interface, is polish a bug fix or a feature? In my view a freeze should be gradual. There's a lot of new code in this release that hasn't had much testing because we are just now getting nightly builds into place, so it is appropriate for there to be larger changes in the beginning and then taper off until the hard freeze in a week or so. In the end, though, it's pretty difficult to specify a hard line on what's in or out. It's mostly up to the maintainer to quantify how much risk is involved with each potential change. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
