Re: [Tcllib-devel] (proposed) Schedule for Tcllib 1.9 (Re: anythoughts on tcllib release?)

[Virden, L. W. <lv...@ca...>]

Andreas, thank you so much for all the hard work you are doing in
support of Tcllib. This library is incredibly useful, and the
contributions of yourself and the others enhance the experience of
programming in Tcl.

We are into September now and well into the proposed schedule below.

I am now finalizing the schedule, with some small tweaks to account

  *	Frozen except for bugs from Friday Sep  8.

	I.e. in the remainder of the week (incl. Friday)
	we can still put in new stuff. Afterward any new
	stuff has to be either defered or put into a branch
	for later merging. The main branch will then be
	restricted to bugfixing work until after the release.

  *	Release Candidate ready at  Friday Sep 22.

	2 weeks after the freeze.

  *	General Announcement    at  Friday Sep 29.

	Another week of bughunting and cleanup work.

  *	Conference		Mo-Fri     Oct 9-13.

One thing I wanted to do, the small 'name server' based on comm and the
changes to comm in the last few weeks, I have decided to defer. It is
not fully stable yet IMHO and trying to get it done would be detrimental
to the other release work I have to do.

I will from now on concentrate on running the testsuites, fixing up
package versions, etc.
