I think the time's right to go ahead and feature freeze and put full focus on bug fixing. Let's set the feature freeze time to Saturday 20:00 GMT (that's high noon for those of us in the PST timezone).
Here are the remaining code cleanup tasks:
** Review #if 0 code in sp-gradient.cpp, sp-root.cpp [tvon] ** Review #if 0 code in *-chemistry.cpp and seltrans.cpp [pjrm] ** Review #if 0 code in svg/ ** Review #if 0 code in display/ [mental] ** Review #if 0 code in helper/ ** Review #if 0 code in xml/
I haven't seen tvon in a while so perhaps someone else can take his review task?
I will post the info on making release packages tomorrow morning.
We are down to 9 critical bugs that will need to be addressed prior to our final release:
891852 saves to old location after save-as 850971 Crash while deleting namedview in XML editor 852976 win32: mouse becoming unresponsive 871582 path display freeze [mental] 864791 XML editor: crash when canceling quit [mental] 863373 ./configure not present in nightly tarball snapshot 863371 --gnome-print option 881397 too big objects crash 887428 R&B channels reversed on win32 when printing [ishmal]
The ./configure issue looks like just a tweak needed to the nightly build script - Ted or Jon, perhaps you could solve this easily?
Ishmal, could you verify that the mouse unresponsive bug on Win32? It's possible this bug is completely fixed now. Also see if you can validate the fix that mental did for 881397, that it works on Win32 too; if so we can mark that one done too.
The --gnome-print option bug looks like it might be spurious and not need fixing - could someone try doing `./configure --with-gnome-print` and see if they can reproduce the bug? Jon?
There are a couple XML Editor bugs; I looked into each and they did not look as trivial as some of the other bugs. Could someone figure out what we could do to fix these?
Mental, do you think 871582 is fixable this weekend? If not, how critical is the bug - could it be postponed for next release?
