[scummvm-devel] ScummVM 2.6.0: Release cycle update

[Lothar Serra Mari]

Hi all,

time for the weekly status update regarding our upcoming release of
ScummVM 2.6.0.

Looking at the release schedule, we are rapidly approaching the final
release day:

    /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

As long as you are not currently working on some bleeding-edge engines
or WIP features, your focus should shift towards getting the latest bugs
fixes.

Thankfully, we offer a wide variety of bugs to choose from - pick one
(or more!) out of *28!

*As always, you can find an up-to-date list at
https://bugs.scummvm.org/report/17.

This week, Thunderforge found a bug in the new icon grid view in the
ScummVM launcher that leads to a crash. Due to the bug being present in
one of the main features of ScummVM 2.6.0, we decided to classify it as
blocker.

The following bugs are still in scope for ScummVM 2.6.0 with "blocker"
being the highest priority possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
