Hello to all. As planned, version 0.11.2 has been released yesterday. Some notes:
As the team spans some radically different time zones, for the next time we should specify not only a release date, but also a time, in UTC, for the people involved in the release to gather in the IRC channel. Separating the release in a branch creates a problem with translations, as Launchpad's web interface maintains different translations for different branches. Translators usually work on the trunk page, but the announcement of a release candidate directed them towards the 0.11 series page: https://translations.launchpad.net/stellarium/trunk/+translations https://translations.launchpad.net/stellarium/0.11/+translations We need better (and consistent) communication with the translators. Also, after the multiple splits and merges, I don't have the slightest idea if the current translations, in the web interface or the code itself, are up-to-date. Speaking of communication with the translators, what happened to the translator team at Launchpad? https://launchpad.net/~stellarium-translation The release candidate was announced on that team's mailing list, but it's not tied in any way to Stellarium's translations in Launchpad. As far as I can remember, it was a part of the effort of migrating to Launchpad which was abandoned after it turned out that Launchpad's mailing list don't support "reply-to address munging". Meanwhile, I've been announcing my test builds on the Translators forum at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium/forums/forum/565801 The release checklist helps, but it's not enough detailed for some tasks, as it assumes knowledge. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0At02hwiDDfqgdG9qSS16ZkExbjI0UVBGVi12VENQNnc Adding the change log to the release announcement proved a bit problematic: - it was too long, perhaps we should just post a link (or keep a separate changelog page when/if the website is re-designed). - the change log was sourced from the ChangeLog file, which has line breaks to align to the 80-character width and this broke the list-to-html script. - the list-to-html script itself has a bug: when the source text ends in a list item, it doesn't close the list element, causing the rest of the column to be indented. The situation with the website is a mess: currently, there is a Launchpad project of developing it, complete with a Bazaar repo, but the code in the repo does not match the current contents of the web-server. The current website uses separate index.php for localization, while the Bazaar version uses gettext translation.
