[kln2-devel] 1.2 feature freeze

[Marek W. <Mar...@fu...>]

Hi e-body,

This is to announce v1.2 feature freeze. :) See
changelog in the end of this message.

No new features will be added until this release is
done. For now all we do is searching for bugs,
misspellings and all other kinds of mistakes.

=====================================
Could you, please test current CVS code?

* does it compile with --enable-cvsfeatures option and
    without it?
* are there any compilation warnings that you know how
    to get rid of?
* is the interface (names of menuitems, comments,
    tooltips) clear enough ?
* any problems with both staff-to-name exercises?

  (note: piano keyboard is enabled only with
  --enable-cvsfeatures and in all docs it is marked as
  not-finished feature, so only staff-to-name exercises
  (static and game) are expected to work and should be
  corrected if there is any problem)

* any unclear places in docs? (you can browse
  doc/HTML/klearnnotes2.html, but please, correct
  doc/en/index.docbook only!)

I would appreciate if you didn't send long comments to
me. Rather - correct whatever you can (English in docs
sure needs correcting) and commit corrected version to
CVS. But of course, if you see a problem that you
can't/don't know how to correct - let me know.

=====================================
TRANSLATORS: please, reserve some time in the beginning
of next week for translating new strings. Note: not
much changed; I tried to prepare Polish translation and
it took me ... less than ten minutes. :) Of course it
would take more time if someone would like to prepare a
translation to a new language. Do NOT start translating
now: until Monday strings can still be changed. I will
send final to-be-translated files when they are ready.


=====================================
As I wrote in previous e-mail, the schedule is as follows:
* we review the code until Sunday - please pay special
    attention to texts which users will see (i.e. to be
    translated)
* early next week I will send translation files to the
    translators (start marking your calendars now ;)
    - from this moment some minor changes in the
    code will be still possible, but user-visible
    strings should not change!
* unless something unexpected happens, somewhere around
    next Thursday we'll make 1.2 release.
