I'm really concerned that 0.43 seems to be moving so slow. We don't have any real stoppers now, so why the delay? Let's do a pre2 now and aim for the release at the end of the week. What do you think?
Release mainatainers (Peter & Jon), if you don't have time to work on that (patches, pre2, final release), please report, so we can work around that. Overall I must say I'm rather disappointed by the performance of the release maintainers this time.
Unfortunately I can't now be on Jabber because I'm having Internet connection issues, but I'll do what I can to help push the release. I have about 120Kb of diffs in my local tree and I can't wait to merge them in. This "short release" seems to have consisted mostly of a very long freeze :(
Here are the most important outstanding issues:
- Several patches in the tracker. If any of these goes in, we need to do another pre with them. If not, we can release right away after pre1.
- Several tutorial translations in the tracker (Scislac, will you do this?)
- Screenshots:
-- Node editing by Scislac: almost there, waiting for a final version with more stuff
-- Connector tool by Alexandre Prokoudine: waiting for a combined shot with 2 diagrams and a blurb (if you can't do this, let me know and I'll post what I have)
-- Drawings with pressure sensitivity by Popolon - does anyone have contact info for him, as I haven't heard from him since he agreed to do this screenshot (more than a month ago)?
-- Anything else?
