[UFRaw-Devel] UFRaw 0.14 release plan

[Udi F. <udi...@gm...>]

Hi,

I had very little time for UFRaw lately. Hopefully, I will have more
time in the near future and my first task is to finally release UFRaw
0.14. Luckily Niels kept maintaining the code and cleaned up most of
the bugs. This would make the release process much easier.

Still there are several issues to attend to.

First there are a few dozen e-mails in my inbox that I need to answer.
Hopefully I will address them all in the next few days. If you feel
forgotten, please send me your e-mail again.

Then there are a few features in CVS that I'm not sure about:

1. Grayscale - I'm still not sure about the interface and the list of
options. On the other hand everything works fine and I got a lot of
feedback that people like this feature. Therefore I'm planning to keep
this feature and maybe updated it after the release.

2. Contrast - getting good results from this option is too
complicated. I think I would comment it out until we can fix it.

3. lensfun - it is a great feature that I'm sure many users are
waiting for, but it is not in a release state. First because it still
doesn't interact with the ID files and second because the image
processing workflow is still not final. I think that putting a warning
about this feature in the release notes is not enough. I'm thinking of
commenting it out in configure.ac.

During next week I plan to make a release candidate ms-windows installer.

I hope to release UFRaw 0.14 in about two weeks. Translators can use
this time to update translations (there are a few updates waiting in
my inbox).

Translators should also notice that I made a small change in policy.
I'm sending this, and future release announcements to ufraw-devel and
directly to the translators. This means that translators which are not
interested in the general discussions in ufraw-devel can unsubscribe
from this list.

Let me know if you have any issues that should be fixed before the release,
Udi
