Re: [mantisbt-dev] MantisBT 1.2.10 -- to be released soon

[Victor B. <vi...@fu...>]

Hi Damien,

Good points.

1. I expect each developer to do the necessary testing before checking in.

2. In case some bugs slip through, we can revert the change rather than
hold off the release.

3. If a feature is done, but we find a corner / small issue (like what
happens when upload of 1 of N files fails), maybe we can consider the issue
done, and open a follow up bug to fix this specific case.

4. If a feature is almost done, then no need to rush it, knowing that there
is another train to catch next month.

Thoughts are welcome.
