[Monotone-devel] Release time

[Thomas Keller]

Hi all!

As I've announced earlier I'd like to start the machinery for the next
monotone release now that the database management branch has landed. So
if you have anything you'd also really like to see in the next monotone
version, please finish it up and merge it into mainline (I remember we
still have a couple of open bugfest branches, right Derek and Richard?),
because I'd like to give the translators a chance to work on a stable
i18n source.

Apropos release - a fellow developer reminded me that we *might* want to
set a proper release number for the next release (you know what I'm
talking about, 1.0...) - given the fact that we're still recognized as
"alpha" software in a couple of places. What do you think?

On the upside is for me that we have tons of bugfixes and a nice set of
new features, so it should be a sound release. On the downside is I
think that there might be a couple of "rough" edges which people would
like to see fixed before a 1.0 happens. I don't see many of these edges
though and the ones I see are open for so long that they won't be fixed
in any immediately following release either, so they should not block
1.0 any longer.

So what do you think? Is it 1.0 time...? And if yes, do we want to make
it extra-safe and start a release candidate cycle to flesh out possible
bugs with the new functionality?

Thomas.
