[Tcllib-devel] Tcllib Release 1.8 Status and Action Plan

[Andreas K. <aku...@sh...>]

We are now in the last week before the release will be made.

The major new stuff is in the repository and I have the trackers a
bit. From now on please do not add any more major new code to the CVS
anymore. Minor new code, and bug fixes are still welcome. Please
remember to update the file "README-1.8.txt" whenever a checkin is
made.

My current plan is to freeze the Tcllib CVS at

	[clock format 1128625200]   (*)

then update the version number, tag the state, and generate a
pre-release distribution for testing Friday to Sunday. The only things
we will fix in that interval will be very major bugs and showstoppers.

On Monday this pre-release will then go into an ActiveTcl Release
Candidate. After Monday (Oct 10 (x)) till the end of that week only
showstoppers can go into the CVS.

After that the pre-release, or whatever is head, becomes the actual
release with updated tag, is announced, put on websites, etc., and at
least the CVS is unfrozen.


(*) This is from my Point of view, i.e. Pacific Time,
    Noon Thursday Oct 6.

(x) This is Canadian Thanksgiving btw.
