[e-users] EFL freeze

[Carsten H. (T. R. <ra...@ra...>]

Well i thought we'd have a weekend of peace and quiet before i sent this.

EFL is now in freeze. that means no new features (unless that feature is
absolutely needed to solve a bug) until release (planned for end of this month).

I am in the middle for bumping the version of all of efl planned for release to
1.6.99 (in preparation for a unified 1.7.0 release). I shall check over
changelogs and news files. also i'll go through a bit of a backlog of bug
reports too.

so what does this mean?

1. we are unifying everything to 1.7 -> we don't have to deal with differing
efl lib versions anymore.
2. synchronised lib version is a step on the way to a single efl tree.
3. after 1.7 release efl will start moving over to a single efl tree 1 library
at a time, so after 1.7 releases of efl won't come in separate library source
trees, but as a single tree build. this means people with svn build scripts, or
using git-svn to track and so on are going to have a rough day after this
release. :)
4. a unified tree will also break current doc generations scripts on e.org.
they will need fixing as we will now have a single efl doc.
5. until release (end of month) the focus is BUG FIXING. getting things clean
and neat for a release. if you have EFL bugs - now is a good time to not be
quiet. let us know. :)
