Hi everbody, It's both too easy to let things slip and very painful to procrastinate, so to limit both and try to make the audience happier, I have decided to switch libxml2 and libxslt to time based releases. At the tune of 2 releases per year, considering the stability of the code I think it's reasonable. For simplicity I will release both on the same day.
So what does that mean ? - that libxml2-2.9.4 should be out on May 20 - that libxslt-1.1.29 should be out on May 20 - that there should be a release candidate 1 around May 1st for both of them then an RC2 around the 10th May and a push on the 20 - that if you have a patch posted to either list or bugzilla which wasn't commented on or applied, it's fine and recommended to pester me with a private email (might be good to rebase in case that's a really old one) - if we are getting close to May 1st and your patch isn't in, raise the point here, me and Nick Wellnhofer on the XSLT side will make sure they go in. - if after May 1st there hasn't been an RC1 people should complain here in case I forgot my promise (and same for RC2 and final) - and around Nov 1st watch for another cycle I really hope this works, that's what I did for my other project (libvirt but with a 1 month cadence) and this really improves everybody's life! So send those requests (Patrick Monnerat and Alex Henrie, no need to send again now) for patch needing processing, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veill...@redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
