Okay, here's the final list of collected fixes for 3.4beta, which I now
recommend that Scott include in the update stream ASAP, if there are no
objections. I had them all loaded into an image I worked with for
awhile.
This is roughly the same as the list I sent a few days ago, except that
it also includes:
- Ned's fix for zip archives with subdirectories under Windows. I
verified that this fix works.
- I noticed that WeakMessageSend2-nk-rw seemed to require a small
changeset (FileListRefactor1-nk) submitted around the same time as a
prerequisite, so that should be included too. (FileListRefactor1-nk
mostly just adds a couple of methods to the class side of FileList) I
also played around a bit with the when:send:to: stuff and verified that
the WeakMessageSends are getting garbage collected in this fixed version.
- A recommendation to revert update #5137, the class template editing
issue, which we discussed. We could try to address this in 3.5alpha if
we need to.
A couple of these are order dependent, so they should probably be added
to the update stream in this order:
1. [FIX] WeakKeyAssn-raok (29 November 2002) * ok@cs.otago.ac.nz (29
November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2842.html
2. [FIX] Translation to iso-8859-1 encoding in Scamper (16 November
2002) * Boris Gaertner (16 November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2770.html
3. [FIX] UUID-Fix-CdG (19 November 2002) * cg@cdegroot.com (19 November
2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2786.html
4. [FIX] DNSerror-ls (3 November 2002) * Lex Spoon (3 November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2735.html
5. [FIX][3.2][3.4a] ArchiveFixes2-nk (12 November 2002) * Ned Konz (12
November 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2748.html
6. [FIX] RelativeZipExtractFix-nk (17 December 2002) * Ned Konz (17
December 2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2920.html
7. [FIX] FileListRefactor1-nk (8 December 2002) * Ned Konz (8 December
2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2890.html
8. [FIX] WeakMessageSend2-nk-rw (8 December 2002) * Ned Konz (8 December
2002)
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2891.html
9. Revert update 5137.
After they're added to the internal update stream, maybe we should push
them out to the external update stream relatively soon (say, a day or so
later?) so that the community can find any last-minute serious
problems. From here on, we should only consider critical bug fixes for
the 3.4 release. ("critical" would rule out any bugs which have been
around longer than a month or two, I would say)
Then, we could still shoot for moving to gamma status on the 22nd or so
(as Daniel suggested), so that we can go final by the beginning of the
year.
