hi folks, I have just completed a review of the whole JIRA backlog -- we are now down to 850 open or in-progress issues from over 900. There were a number of duplicate, fixed, or unreproducible issues that I closed.
There are 282 uncompleted issue in the 0.13 milestone. I will work on thinning out some of the low priority work in the C++ and Python projects, or work that is depending on other work that may or may not be completed this release cycle and needs to be pushed to 0.14 or later. As discussed last month I think we should aim for time-based releases. I think a good release cadence for this project right now is approximately every 2 months. So based on this a 0.13 release candidate should be cut the week of March 18. I'll follow up on this thread every week or so with a status update until we are in the 0.13 end-game. Note that there were a lot of problems with the 0.12 release process -- what steps are we taking to prevent those from happening again? Thank you, Wes
