Just a reminder that today's hard freeze. If you have bugfix patches please ping me or get them to me ASAP. I'll be cutting the pre0 release this evening (you have at least 8 hours to go...)
String freeze is next Monday.

The 0.92.x stable branch is reopened for changes. Consider it as under feature freeze but not string freeze.
Bugfixes are welcome to be added. Please continue to check with me before landing things, but for the next few weeks I expect to be in rubber stamp mode and approve most anything that looks sensible. We do need to be cautious about not introducing regressions at this point. Write good changelog messages explaining the fixes in good detail please.
Translation updates (and entirely new translations) are fine to land directly, no need to check with me. There are already a handful on the branch already that unfortunately came in just after I had cut the tarball.
Extension updates and new extensions are probably low enough regression risk that I'll try to be liberal in approving them. The ones we have to be cautious about are the highly used extensions, since we risk breaking people's workflow.
A few specifics I'm aware of, that sound worth including:
- Tutorials and other .svg files we ship have the dpi scaling issue, and need updated for 0.92.1
- suv mentioned an extension to provide users a workaround to some line spacing issues, iirc.
- A mechanism to backup / reset prefs settings
- Fixes to some strings that were found post-string freeze
- A gpl3 widget needs removed (or relicensed)
I'd like to avoid maintaining a bugs-needing-fixed list, but rather focus time more on patch review and testing. I figure the important thing is to get 0.92.1 out in a timely manner, and if there's still bugs needing attention we can always do a 0.92.2 some time later on.
Proposed Timing:
Mon Jan 2 Feature Freeze0.92.1pre0 Mon Jan 23 Hard Freeze 0.92.1pre1 Mon Jan 30 String Freeze 0.92.1pre2 Mon Feb 6 Release Candidate 0.92.1 Fri Feb 10 Cut Release Mon Feb 13 Announcement
I know we've not got a strong history of staying to schedule, but I'm going to try hard to hit these dates at least within a day or so. That means we'll have to be strict about string changes after String Freeze, and strict about any changes after the Release Candidate. This schedule allows the weekend of Feb 11-12 for prepping website changes, finalizing packages, and so on.
Anything you can think of missing from this plan?
