We keep moving forward, not as fast as we'd hoped, but pretty darned quickly. But we need to keep up the pace for another few weeks in order to have a clean, solid, well polished release before PyCon 2009. I want to market the heck out of TG2 in the runup to pycon, and show off all the great work that's been done at the conference, and that means we have a hard deadline to meet.
So, here is my proposal. We're at beta 5 now, beta 6 should be _the_last_beta. After b6 we should start doing release candidates. Currently b6 is scheduled to be a "friday the 13th" release, but I would not be suppressed to see it pushed back to the 16th -- but it would be bad if we pushed it back any further than that. Hopefully we will have just one or two RC's and have TG2 in a releasable state by early march. We would then have a 100% feature freeze after b6, so any features not completed by then will be removed, and no new features will be added. At risk of removal/not being added are the following features: * Out of the box support for Jinja templates * Creation of TG2 apps as zip safe eggs (regular eggs will work fine!) And we have one incomplete feature which I think can be allowed to block the release: * Out of the box support for Internationalization of TW and FormEncode This one has a patch, which looks good to me, but I really want someone with more internationalization experience to take a look at it before we add it in. Beyon the feature freeze, b6 being the final beta means that we need to close all the high or higher tickets in the b6 milestone on track: http://bit.ly/nn8z And any bugfix or feature that would potentially change any API must be on the b6 list, and should be marked high priority. I don't know that the above list is definitive at the moment, but it is a start. If there's anything that's a critical code change it needs to have a ticket, be assigned to milestone beta 6, and be marked as high or higher priority. If there's something important to you, which needs to be in 2.0 it needs to have a ticket, and be added to the above list.
