Just following up...
Is everyone still okay with us hitting Chill on Friday? Any objections?
As a reminder:
- Chill. (September 21, 2012) Development focuses on wrapping up. No further refactoring. Identify 'make distcheck' issues Triage bug reports Run an About Screen contest First draft of Release Notes Update tutorials and other docs
The guides project is not yet ready to be merged, but regarding the new-style-rework only the backwards compatibility issue is left which can be done quickly (I can take over if needs be). But I think it is OK if we hold off with this forward compatibility breaking change. There is no need for it at the moment. Grids will also need a forward compatibility breaking change, so we can synchronize it with guides if we postpone new-style guides to 0.50. And then rotatable desktop in 0.50? ;-)
For me this means I can (and should) focus on polishing PowerStroke as much as I can. (is it already clear if it will be in 0.49?)
Note: We have a known security issue that is in a bug report. If anyone would seriously be interested in fixing it, I can give you access to it. This bug report would also be the only real issue left for 0.48.4 as well.
Have a look at my comments for the bug. The proposed fix is very easy and can even be made optional if someone really wants that functionality.
As for the About Screen contest... what about a theme of "re-birth" or awakening from hibernation, or something along those lines of "we've been quiet, but we're back and more awesome".
:-)
