Hello,
your $subject is a good question ;-)
Let me first answer with a question: Did you test current SVN trunk?
What is your impression?
Now to the real answer:
SVN trunk is in a good quite state right now, and a sleepless easter
night contributed much to that ;-)
There are too many things left to call it 3.0 (for example, the CLI is
only partially implemented and the migration to the *Handler classes is
not finished) - OTOH, it contains lots of improvements, some new
features and probably less bugs than 2.3.5 because the migration to the
*Handler classes solved several issues automatically).
Known regressions:
- $PALANG is escaped which breaks if a *.lang file contains
htmlentities. Should be easy to fix.
- some missing validation in AliasHandler (also easy to fix)
I think we could/should do a "preview" release which is clearly marked
as "probably unstable" and "class interfaces etc. might change" [1].
This would give interested users the chance to use the new features, and
in return we'll get (hopefully not too many) bugreports.
BTW: I'd use a version number like 2.9.0 instead of "3.0 preview" to
avoid confusion in the rpm/deb "what's newer" comparison later when we
release 3.0 final.
David, what do you think about doing a "3.0 preview" release?
Regards,
Christian Boltz
[1] In general, the *Handler class interface looks good and I don't
really expect that I need to do noticeable changes to it, but often
the devil is in the detail - see my commits from the last days.
