[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 0.10.0 release soon

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

I just returned home from my vacation in Turkey (was very nice, by  
the way). And I'll be leaving for a conference in Belgium tomorrow  
noon again, but I hope to have occasional internet access there.

Anyway, back to topic:

A new release would be a good thing, aye, and it can't be called  
1.0.0 (because I'd veto that for well-known reasons :-). So go ahead.

However, given that apparently we still have some outstanding major  
issues, I wonder whether your release time table isn't a bit overly  
tight? In particular, from what you write about e.g. upcoming AGOS  
changes and what others wrote in this thread, it seems unrealistic to  
me to start release testing in 3 days and do a freeze in 10 days... ?  
In fact, I am not quite sure how one can do release testing before  
the freeze (all the non-bug fix changes made before the freeze would  
at least partially invalidate all previous testing, no?)

Other than that: Go for it. Oh, and don't forget to fix the TODOs in  
the README.

Cheers,
Max
