Mental, so what's up with 42.1? It's long overdue IMHO.
- somebody needs to write release notes
Hmm, I thought you already did it. Anyway, if you expected me (for example) to do it, you should have contacted me directly about it.
I planned on doing it myself, but I haven't had time to do it in the past couple weeks. So somebody needs to at this point. Probably won't be me. Doesn't have to be you.
Can you just resend the complete changelog / list of patches you have? I'll then massage it into a section in NEWS.
As for testing the end result, it's a major hassle to set up a branch compile. Windows users can't do it at all.
How come?
Most Windows users don't compile at all. They use compiled binaries. So, I think we should either:
- decide that the patches are safe enough and just do the release
- decide that some testing won't hurt, in which case make binaries for people to test
Whereas lingering at the pre-tagging stage does not make much sense at all, imho.
