Hi,

We plan to release 0.8.1 in the middle of September.

As usual, a branch will be created 2 weeks before the release to be able 
to update translations. (so beginning of September)

Jaka will manage the translations updates received on mailing-list 
wormux-update (Well, are you ok Jaka ? :). And I will merge bug-fixes 
from the trunk to the branch if there are some.

Of course, all new features developed in the last two weeks will *not* 
been merged.

During the two weeks before creating the branch, the main priority 
should be bugs, and in particular:

- bug #12174 : Some crates don't finish to fall 
https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?12174
- bug #12001 : Crash when displaying the teams energy graphs
https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?12001
- bug #10232 : Game got stuck/no one's turn in a local game
https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?10232
 From the initial comment, I suspect to be duplicate bug of #12174 but 
Plorf seems to speak about something else.

Some others bugs are critical too but I'm not sure to understand 
descriptions of all those bugs :p

 From the task, I think the most important is this one:
- task #6147 : Several network games with same players without going 
back to connection menu
https://gna.org/task/index.php?6147
Several wormux players have asked for it

Just to remember, from the beginning of September, here are the 
different steps to do:

1) update/upload howto play documentation (in .pdf)

Here it's probably interesting to have some documentation about the 
network game...

2) create the branch 0.8.1

3) upload a pre-release archive for

    - the packager to test if everything is good
    - the translators
3bis) prepare the changelog

4) wait for nearly all translations to be ok. Some translators can be on
hollydays or not interested in updating anymore the translation - wait 
at most 2 weeks -> deadline is September 15th
5) create a release branch/tag
6) create the final source archive and upload it
7) inform all packagers than we are ready to release
8) collect packages
9) update the website and release 0.8.1 :)

WARNING: some bug fixes may appear on the branch but strings are frozen! 
Thus, if you see problem in english translation, they will be fixed on 
trunk but not on the branch to avoid fuzzy translations, sorry for 
english users. Developers are advised to not modify strings (even on the 
trunk) between the period of releasing.


Regards,

Matt (gentildemon)
