[scummvm-devel] New year, new release: Prepare for ScummVM 2.7.0

[Lothar Serra Mari]

Hi all,

we are heading towards the last weekend before tagging of ScummVM 2.7.0 
is supposed to happen.

ATTN PORTERS: Please, consider doing test builds of your ports NOW, 
because when we tag, it is too late to make any changes. Please report 
any issues with building your port directly on the mailing list so we 
can keep track.

The remaining schedule is the following:

February 13 (Monday): release tagged, porters start building their ports
February 26 (Sunday): release

We are still left with a couple of bugs that are in scope for the next 
release. Thus, it would be great to see as many bugs squashed as 
possible ;-)

Dear developers, please have a look at the following items:

Non-engine code:
> #12329 BACKENDS: IOS: MP3 playback failing, libmad writing out of bounds
> #12032 BACKENDS: SDL: cursor drifting for game controller
> #12775 BASE: The -g / --gfx-mode command-line option still handles the old scaler names
