Re: [Rails-devel] Preparing new release: Version number?

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Stefan,

No, I'm not ready yet.  The issue with offering impossible special tile lays
is still open. 
(I wouldn't call such an issue a bug myself; IMO, bugs are failures and
limitations that inhibit correct play. Here we have a case of incorrect
play, that isn't even allowed, just suggested, but even if it would be
allowed I'd still consider it a mere flaw rather than a bug, as it can be
avoided. But that aside).

I know what to do, but haven't found the time yet.  
In addition, a scan through old mails and bug reports uncovered a few more
issues with 1835 (mostly raised by JDG as well) that I would like to
consider.
Later this week, I hope.

> if 1835 is ready

Or ready again.  It turns out to be very hard to exactly define "ready". 
I'd say: after I have done the outstanding fixes, it's as ready as I'm aware
of.  But so it was the previous time.
Anyhow, there is little doubt that John David Galt and another excellent
testers will keep finding bugs and flaws, until eternity, or the lifetime of
Rails, whichever comes first.

Erik.
