[Scummvm-devel] Release status. Oct 17th

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi guys,

yesterday was yet another busy day, especially as of game testing.
Current testing stats are:

SCUMM: 17 of 20
non-SCUMM: 7 of 9
HE: 10 of 30

One show stopper is gone, and one is still remains. Again, probably it
will be just ignored as non-critical to release. I'll try to
investigate it tomorrow.

DC and WinCE ports status has been updated. Though no word about PS2.
Robert, any news? I guess it is not yet ready.

IMPORTANT: Today, around 12:00 GMT branch-0-8-0 will be created and you
will be able to continue your routine development. But please, do not
relax too much yet, as we may see more critical bugreports from users
during next 2 weeks.

It appeared that MM NES has lots of issues which couldn't be fixed
before release due to their number. What do you think, should we disable
it in the release at all or leave as is?

For your information. Targets which will be disabled in the release are:

Kyrandia -- module will not be compiled
IHNM -- target will be commented out
Feeble Files -- target is already commented out
Gobliiins 2 -- target will be commented out
(any additional entries here? Kirben?)

Of course, development will continue in main trunk for every one of
these.

Release schedule remains the same (but as I personally see, nothing
prevents us from releasing on 23th :P). You've done excellent work on
bugs killing so far.

Monday, October 17th (about 12:00 GMT)
  branching

Friday, October 28th (evening, around 21:00 GMT)
  release tag
  porters start building their ports and upload them to SF.net

Sunday, October 30th
  release is announced.

Probably future status updates will be somewhat rarer, i.e. on when
something will happen.
