It is, right now, identical to http://darcs.net, but soft freeze is in effect *now*. The soft freeze policy has been outlined in my previous mail, so I won't repeat myself. The next milestone is 2.2pre1, tagging due on 18th (as well as a tarball release). If you identify a serious problem with the code as it currently exists in the branch-2.2 repository, please send patches to http://darcs.net as usual, but be sure to mention in your mail that this patch should really be applied to branch-2.2 as well. I will be picking patches that look release-ish to me, and I will be reading through the list for sent patches. However, if you don't mention 2.2 in your submission, I can't guarantee that I will treat your patch as release-appropriate. Since we need to minimise number of changes that happen on branch-2.2, I will put up certain resistance to letting in any given patch (and, there's no such thing as obviously right patch from now on...). Moreover, if you are fixing an issue for 2.2, please refrain from any refactoring. Likely the best practice for now is going to be recording the simplest and most obvious fix, and possibly refactoring on top of it. I will only pull the first patch into the release, while the main repository on darcs.net can get both patches. I am putting up this modus operandi as an experiment for 2.2. If it proves workable, I will likely keep it (with possible minor tweaks) for all further releases (as long as I wear the RM hat). If someone would be so kind as to put up a summary of the freeze policies on the wiki somewhere, I would be grateful. Maybe we could (or we do already?) have an appendix in the manual about darcs' own development? That's it for now. Thanks and keep up the good work.
