[scummvm-devel] ScummVM 2.6.0: The final week!

[Lothar Serra Mari]

Hi all,

Looking at our release schedule, the final week before hard-freezing 
branch-2-6, which will eventually evolve into ScummVM 2.6.0 is ahead!

/July 08 (Friday): Hard-freeze of branch-2-6, allowing only emergency 
bugfixes/
     July 16 (Saturday): Final branch 2-6-0 created, *release tagged*, 
porters start submitting builds
     August 01 (Monday): Public release

In case you are currently /not/ working on a WIP/upcoming/unstable 
engine, bug-fixing should be your highest priority!

Please note that it will be virtually impossible to get any non-trivial 
changes into branch-2-6 /after/ July 08. Hard-freeze will be declared at 
around 18:00 UTC that day in a seperate mail. Since this will also cause 
a full string-freeze, I encourage all translators to re-check the 
existing translations in order to be able to get rid of any errors.

*As always, you'll find an up-to-date list of current bugs in scope for 
the next release at https://bugs.scummvm.org/report/17.
