[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 1.0.0: Release status 2009-08-08

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Team,

Due to personal busyness I was not able to watch the release process
and in fact had an increasing feelings of a fear watching my
scummvm-tracker mailbox growing to a whopping 391 messages.

Thus my thoughts were that the release is in a really bad shape with
zillions of critical bugs.

Today I finally got the needed time, and my feelings switched to
opposite. Guys, I am so privileged to work in such outstanding team,
really. I watched bugs being reported and fixed blazingly fast, feature
requests being handled and patches accepted.

Thus, in essence, we have no release critical bugs, and only one nice
to get fixed bug was added to the list.

The testing is not at its best, but let me propose something new, I
need your opinion.

As it was decided in the past, below schedule is in fact for 1.0.0pre1
release which is planned to be released on August 31st. But I propose
to have this backlog of bugs, as well as our release testing page to be
directed towards 1.0.0 release which hopefully will be released in
October. Earlier I did not run such e-mails for the bugfix releases.
What do you think?



The upcoming schedule:
  August 10th -- all ports are frozen, porters start test builds.
  August 21st -- tagging, builds start getting uploaded
  August 31st -- release (tentative)
