Is the biginset branch ready?
Since I have been the only one testing it, I would be surprised.
However, there are two parts:
- One that optimizes the drawing mechanism, both in cost of
updateMetrics() and in number of calls, and improves the scrolling
code. This part is probably almost ready.
- the second part removes some full screen update that can be
expensive. I would not be surprised if they caused (fixable) crashes.
And then the last patch (initial loading of previews), which could
probably be moved to first part.
If yes it might better RC1->RC2->2.4.0 than within stable cycle...
Not sure. What I do not want is delay 2.4.0.
Big changes are probably not wise right now. I would suggest committing
the first part to 2.4.x as soon as we are sure an emergency release will
not be needed, or if one is then as soon as we have reached some kind of
stable state. It will get plenty of testing then. The entire thing could
be committed to devel as soon as 2.4.x is branched. Potential problems
with the second part can hopefully be identified there, and then we can
commit that stuff to 2.4.x when it seems safe.
I will build RC1 tomorrow. I meant to do it today, but got busy...
