Hi folks,
Just a quick update on release plans.
I'll be releasing 1.4.3 as soon as we get a EPEL-testing and Fedora 9/10
build for libyaml/PyYAML, which is expected this week (probably
Wednesday/Thursday). I'll also include any bug fixes I get before this
time, as well as any I fix myself before then.
Afterwards, barring unforseen events, the focus will be on getting 1.5
ready to go (release version will be 1.6). I am inclined to try to
release this in a couple of weeks following, and then push any more
feature enhancements towards a 1.6, rather than delaying things. The
reason for this is the devel branch already includes some rather nice
features, especially WRT cobblerd/web-app performance and s390 support.
I expect to get a few new minor fixes in before then. As I said
earlier, I want to try to get our release cycle for new major releases
closer to every two months if we can.
I've starred some of the big items that you might want to pay attention
to.
