[MuPAD-Combinat-devel] Prerelease

[Nicolas M. T. <nt...@us...>]

	Hi there,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test summary: 16 warnings total, 125 test file(s) passed
A complete log of the tests is available in the file checklog
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'est-y pas beau, ça?

15 warnings are due to not yet implemented bases change in
examples::NCSF. The remaining one is due to IPC, and I am about to fix
it. So, altogether, we are on a good track for the prerelease
tomorrow. The documentation tests do not pass completely yet, but are
quickly improving.

I think that we should stick to the current schedule for the release,
in order to force ourselves to quickly finish to stabilize the
code. Adding extra delays would postpone several important new
developments that are about to start right after the release.  With
Florent hurrying to finish his habilitation thesis, and Teresa
occupied by the evaluations of the lab, we are quite short on man
power. As is, we won't be able to make it on time, while keeping the
scope we had planned and the quality. Here, I propose that we reduce
somewhat the scope: if certain things can't be documented on time for
the release next week, so be it.

Priority number one is to have stable code.  All tests (standard &
documentation) should pass 100% as soon as possible. Please, help: use
the code, torture it, break it, add tests. The area to test in
priority concerns the newly typed tableaux, skew tableaux &
friends. Then, if you have time, write and proofread documentation.

Christopher: please keep us updated on the schedule for the MuPAD
release. We need it to make sure things will be in good state at that
point.

Thanks in advance,
						Nicolas
