It's time to start making the final push towards getting the release out the door. Here's the plan: Feature Freeze Phase: * Starts at End of the Day, Sunday, 11/21 * All feature development work ceases * Last pass through bug tracker for show stopper bugs * Last chance to submit tutorials and translations Hard Freeze Day: * All codebase activity stops for one day * Conduct final QA testing * Unless a show stopper is found, establish Release Branch * If show stoppers are found by end of day, go back to Feature Freeze Release Branch: * Verify AUTHORS, version number, release notes, etc. * Only intended for last minute cleanup * Remember to merge bug fixes back to main branch too * Announce Inkscape-0.40 final tarball to packagers * Create packages and post to SourceForge Release PR: * Update Freshmeat page * Post announcement of release to news sites, blogs, etc. http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AnnouncingReleases * Notify distro vendors of new release availability How's that sound?
