[ros-dev] 0.3 Release (was: ncpa)

[Aleksey Bragin]

ncpaWhat's needed for 0.3:
1. Go through bugzilla, review all opened bugs, and give them appropriate status. As of now we have 291 open bug, ~18 have 'critical' status.
2. Complete http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/0.3.x/0.3.0 , ensuring it works in current SVN head (notices that it work[ed] in 0.2.9 are good, however regressions might happen)
3. Merge Wine 0.9.11 changes in the tree
4. Implement at least something, best - everything from this page: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Alex%27s_0.3.0_%27User_Wow_Factor%27_Ideas
5. Perform some load-testing on real hardware, like Gge is doing, so that all those stuff not only "works" but works for hours.

Only after these steps I can be sure 0.3 is ready.

I do not see a release of a half-working thing with regressions as a good for PR. People await a lot from the major release. We must give them what they deserve ;)


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

  This is all that stands in the way of getting 0.3.0 out the door. 
  As soon as we can config the network adapters via the dialog, we can branch and start bug hunting. 
  This would also be a good time to enlist some more testers under the Munger wing ;) 

  I'm going to have a look at this tonight, but I've had a look before and IIRC, I had trouble hunting the bug down. 
  It would be good if someone with a bit more experience in this area could have a look. 

  I think Gé was working on this before Christmas, so I'm hopefully gonna catch up with him tonight via IM, as I'm not sure if he's subscribed to ros-dev anymore.

  We've been promising this for about 18 months now. I know a hell of a lot of  work has been done in other areas (in fact, the jump from 0.3 to 0.4 should be relatively small as much of the 0.4 work is done), but we need to deliver.

  After all the recent goings on, getting 0.3.0 would be a nice boost for the project, in terms of both morale and PR. 
  Is anyone willing to help? 

  Ged.
