Ivanovic, have you considered this? 1.11.x has taken a huge leap compared to 
1.10, let alone 1.0. Even if there's more work to be done, I think we've done 
enough development to warrant a new major version. Essentially the question is 
whether we want to make the jump after a big step forward or only when the last 
screw is in place?

If I might make a suggestion for the versioning for the next stable release: 
could it finally be called Wesnoth 2.0? We've gone on with 1.x.x for awhile now 
with no sign of stopping, which really gives the impression that not much is 
being changed. 

I believe it's a good time as ever to switch version numbers - the UI has 
been/is being greatly revamped recently. Plus taking into account all the 
changes made during the 1.9 development cycle, and how greatly the game has 
improved since 1.0, I really think a change to 2.0 would be optimal.
 


There are two possible routes to go:
* Proceed with the 1.11.x development cycle, up to the rc releases, at which 
point the number would be bumped to 2.0. After that, the current system of 
even-stable, odd-dev releases could be kept through 2.1.x, 2.2.x, etc.
 

* Proceed with the 1.11.x development cycle, up to the rc releases, at which 
point the number would be bumped to 2.0. After that, 2.x releases would be all 
subsequent stable releases, and 3.x created when the time comes to create a new 
dev series.

 As for me, I have the MP interface to polish out before the next stable 
release. Right now it's good enough to go into a dev release (hence I'm alright 
with 1.11.7 next Saturday), but it has some deficiencies that ought to be fixed 
before the freeze. I hope to get it done in the next month. However, in an 
extreme case, the December 21. deadline might be 1-2 weeks too tight for me.

Hi folks! 
Today shadowmaster raised the topic of the next dev release and the start of 
the preps for 1.12. First question: 
 
* Does releasing 1.11.7 next Saturday work for you? Are there any blockers or 
 things you really need to have in it? 
 
The more important question though is when to work on the next stable series. 
The last stable series is now getting close to 2 years old. He mentioned that 
having 1.11.8 as start of a feature freeze would make sense to him. My 
 question to you folks is if this will also work for you. This is what I would 
propose as timeline for the 1.12 series: 
 
* Start of feature (and string!) freeze with 1.11.8 shortly before Christmas 
(December 21st?) 
 * Stabilization phase for ~2 month (with a release every ~3 weeks) 
* Start of RC time mid February (hopefully only 1 RC), might be a possible 
time for branching off the new stable branch 
* Release of 1.12.0 around March 1st 2014 
 
What do you think of a plan like this? Will this work for you? I supposed less 
than 2 month for the string and feature freeze time won't work otherwise the 
translators have no chance to play catch up. What should also be considered in 
 the timeline is if we want to participate in GSoC and have students work 
directly master. Another option would be not to release a stable series this 
year, but I think then it would be *extremely* long since the last one. 
 
Please post your comments here on the ML so that everyone can participate in 
the discussion. 
 
Cheers, 
Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic
