OK, I think 3.1.6 is very solid and stable now, but there are some finishing touches it needs. Here's where I really have to plead for help, because I really can't put any more time into this than I have already. Here's my to-do list for 3.1.6. 1. better configure tests for: - regex problems on BSDi - getpeername length argument type on Solaris - avoid C library mktime() on OpenBSD 2. support for compiling with gcc 3.0 3. support for description_meta_tag_names attribute 4. handle noindex_start & noindex_end as string lists 5. a "match all documents" mechanism in htsearch 6. a way of specifying relative date ranges in htsearch 7. release notes 8. merge maindocs updates into htdoc and vice versa Geoff, I hope you can do something about the configure tests, because I'm really out of my element with that. I do have an alternate workaround for the mktime problem, though, which I'll propose in another message. If I understand correctly, Geoff, you do now have a system with gcc 3.0, and are planning to do that part too (or is this done already?). The description_meta_tag_names attribute is a pretty simple addition, which I might do because it sounds like a good idea that's been requested more than once, but if I can't do it before release I see it as expendible. 4 to 6 are expendible too, but again they're good ideas that have been very frequently requested (5 & 6 together would make a dandy "what's new" facility). Finally, 7 and 8 are standard release-time procedures, which I'd really like to hand off to you, Geoff, if I can. So, what do you think? Any volunteers for 3 to 6? If not, should we just forget about them? Geoff, are you willing/able to do the other items? -- Gilles R.
