| Subject: | [pcb-rnd] project state update: librnd4 switchover started |
Hi all, I am starting the librnd switchover today. I will try to keep everything working all the time, but I can't guarantee anything. This is probably the largest scheduled disruption in our normal "generally safe to use from SVN" workflow in the history of pcb-rnd and Ringdove. If you are using Ringdove apps from SVN, the only difference is that you will always need to svn up and install your librnd before you svn up and compile other apps. There will be several changes every day, so any previos checkout is old, by definition. Using/testing SVN version is always welcome as it can catch bugs early. I will make announcements as the switchover progresses and there would be a point in time when I will ask everyone to use the SVN versions for production. If you are not using Ringdove for SVN, I recommend upgrading to the latest released versions and keep using that until the librnd4 switchover is done. You can report bugs during the switchover, but those bugs will most likely be added to the TODO and delayed until after the switchover is finished. Since the v4 switchover is a major, API breaking change, current and past released versions of pcb-rnd, sch-rnd and camv-rnd will not work with librnd4, and SVN versions of the apps won't work with librnd 3.x.x. I expect the switchover to finish in about 2 months so we'd have another mass-release of Ringdove early next year. No fixed date yet. Best regards, Igor2
