[Scummvm-devel] Release 0.11.0 status -- 2007-12-27 -- branch

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Team,

a bit late, but still 27th isn't over in some parts of the world :P.

I created branches for both scummvm and tools, so trunk is unfrozen.

My mistake was to branch first, and then process tracker e-mails and
prepare this status report, so I found 3 nice patches which could go
into 0.11.0, so I had to commit them to both branches.

Still this showed to new of you how we should work from now till the
release. I.e. If you have some bugfix, commit it to both branche and
trunk. Remember, that branch-0-11-0 is in feature freeze and will ever
be.

We got rid of one more release critical bug, still 2 are to squash.

What you, engine maintainers should do now:

 o disable detection of unsupported games in branch-0-11-0. Please, do
   it asap, so we will not forget it before the release.

   This at least includes: gob3, lostintime, bra, kyra2, kyra3.

 o Porters, make your test/beta/daily builds out of branch, not trunk.
 
 o Please, make sure that _all_ building scripts/projects in dists/ in
   branch are up to date
