[scummvm-devel] ScummVM 2.5.0 release. Branched

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Team,

We are in the middle of the release cycle now

branch-2-3 has been created. MASTER IS UNFROZEN

Now that means that any changes which you have to put to the release, have
to be backported.

Backporting means issuing `git cherry-pick <commit-hash>` on the branch-2-3
and pushing it after resolving any merge conflicts. Please, be careful with
it, since we hope that the end users will start playtesting the games and
we would like to not ask them to retest.

We did a good job on bugfixing so far, quickly fixing blockers along the
way and now we're down to 26 bugs in the release scope. Still, please use
this opportunity to reduce the total number of bugs in our bugtracker.

Upcoming schedule:

  October 1 (Fri): Release tagged, porters asked to submit their builds
  October 9 (Sat): Release

The bugs. You can get the up-to-date list with this link:
https://bugs.scummvm.org/report/17?sort=summary&asc=1

Please feel free to lower priority to normal if you feel you will not be
able to fit the bugfix into this release.
