Hi all,
I am in favor of getting PA3 out before we merge in big changes, but
I'm not really happy with just slapping a version number onto whatever
we currently have and releasing it.
Instead I personally think PA is mature enough to do "proper" release
management - like KDE SC or several Extragear projects - by now, meaning
- Branching PA3 out from Trunk
- Setting a feature freeze (since we're not in the standard
translation process yet, we won't need a string freeze, correct?)
- Maybe doing a Beta release
- Doing one or more RC(s)
- Releasing only when PA3 is stable enough
I don't think we can get PA3 out in August that way, but we could
reopen Trunk for the merges before we release PA3.
I believe that especially Vivaldi owners (I assume they will receive
their devices in the near future) should get a release which is stable
enough (even if not "feature-complete") for everyday use soon. If we
put out PA3 in a hurry just because we want to merge in new stuff,
they will be stuck with an unfinished product until PA4, which I don't
think is a good thing. Yes, those who have preordered Vivaldi tablets
are surely mostly enthusiasts / geeks who don't mind a few bugs, but
they should be able to show their devices to their friends without
fearing that something might break easily.
What do you think?
I do think so.It is important to make PA3 stable for common use.But it
will spend more time,including test and fix bugs.
