For new 1.2/2.0 or any other version were we can commit long waiting new features and extensions. > We are in Beta. That means no new features, only bug fixes. If that's what > you're referring to, then fine. Yes, it is. And because to release 1.0 we need at lease one RC version without any modifications then I begin to think I should commit some of my recent fixes ASAP or I'll force yet another RC what will increase the release freeze period. > When we make what we have stable enough to release, then we'll call > it 1.0 and open the SVN for the tornado that will follow. Exactly. > Right now, we need to be working toward a release candidate. And quickly. I agree and I want to see 1.0 ASAP. We have to accept what we have now or we will never release 1.0. I know that many things can be done yet but there is no chance to start them and release 1.0 in this year. > > And second thing. I would like to ask someone to control the release > > process.

I'll commit this with some other minor fixes and one important and missing HB_GTI_* action which is necessary for proper CP setting on some terminals today and I think we can start release process. I can create binaries for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (RH73, FC3, SUSE10.3), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (SUSE10.3), MinGW32 linux cross builds (FC3, SUSE10.3), ARM/WinCE linux cross builds (FC3, SUSE10.3), DOS (DJGPP, OpenWatcom) and maybe some of HP-UX builds. I can also create BSD build but AFAIR we there is Harbour BSD port. Does anyone uses it? Should it be updated? And what about .DEB packages? We need .DEB files for Debian and Ubuntu created by make_deb.sh and official debian files should be updated for current ones. They comes from quite old 0.44 version and do not have important functionality. Can some of Debian/Ubuntu users ask about it? best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
