| Subject: | [pcb-rnd] project state update |
Hi all! Quick project state update. 1. current state We've pretty much ran out of bugs for this cycle. We are waiting for a lot of ACKs from bug reporters, tho: Ade: 3; Bdale: 1; Celem: 1; Cuvoodoo: 1; John Griessen: 1; Keantoken: 3; Majenko: 3; Miloh: 1; Piotr: 2; Pskibinski: 1; Vuokko: 1; 2. this cycle We have implemented and bugfixed almost everything scheduled for this cycle. There are 4 smaller things remaining, and we have plenty of time for those too, so this cycle is looking good so far. Next release is end of October. I expect we'd have code freeze from 23th, +- a few days. That's in 2.5 weeks. 3. next cycle Our packagers didn't finish testing the hidlib in time, which means we can't go fast enough on that so the next version will only be 2.1.4, not 2.2.0. But in the next cycle we really must get this done else other tools in our suite will suffer. In the next cycle, spanning 3 months till late January, focus will be on cleanups and bugfixes again, to furhter reduce the size of TODO, plus some scripting. I could cut back on my pcb-rnd addiction and could regroup some of my development time on other projects required for getting to the sch editor eventually - I also plan to go on with this. So longer pcb-rnd cycles with a bit less happening, but more progress on the rest of the suite. I also managed to do much less core changes (after the many months of data model of the past years). I plan to keep this going too, so some features that require data model and file format upgrade are on hold. Rationale: our pending feature requests are not critical and I want to give some time for the current infra to get tested out and become "bug free". CI and CT are fine by me, but I want to avoid "continuous refactoring" because although it's a lot of fun as a programmer, it's much less fun for production users facing random new bugs all the time. Best regards, Igor2
