I'm against having a release on Friday.
Just look at the BugfixArchive: There's a lot of stuff pending, which really needs to be included. And my feeling is, that there's just not enough "new" stuff in 3.6 to allow a new release: Like 3.5, we'd get a "new release" nobody would use.
Agree as I mention in one of my early emails. 3.6 should be sexy in terms of new stuff/clean/improvements. Let us make it really sexy.
Hmmm. And then people - WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS WHEN THE 3.6 PLAN WAS POSTED???
Ahh, that is so right. And also - SO WHY DO YOU WAKE UP NOW, INSTEAD OF WAKING UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN WE FIRST SAID WHAT WASN'T GOING TO BE READY, AND START REVIEWING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMMORROW???
Ok, got that out of my system, phew. Sorry ;-)
Hehe, nothing like a good shouting eh? :-) Just as long as we keep the good spirit up - I am not really angry with anyone - I just want the plan to "count" for something. We are after all trying to establish a healthy, regular process with 3 releases per year instead of 1.
I think we have done quite alright with 3.6 - and remember, we have a whole month of bugsquashing ahead of us - and believe me: The network rewrite, KCP/MCP and the full backlog of FIXes should keep us busy...
BTW, I'm glad to see more people doing the BFAV thing, and advancing the process, but this doesn't clash with making a release in any way whatsoever. People can go on coding and reviewing and advancing Squeak right through beta and gamma - harvesters will simply have a slightly bigger pile when we enter 3.7 alpha.
Right.
