Hi,
I'd like to propose to do Portable.NET 0.7.4 and libjit 0.0.6 release
soon (14th January if possible?) because of various reasons:
1. There hasn't been a pnet release for almost half a year anyway, so
lots of smaller things happened, latest libjit is even more than a year
old. And it's also a good sign to show recent activities in both projects.
2. There have been a few "hard" fixes in cvs done after the last release
(gcc4 compatibility, compile failure on arm and probably others I forgot).
3. libjit and libCrayons will take more time, so waiting for them would
mean next release in a few months (and releasing in-between is not a
good thing IMHO).
4. Packagers are complaining that the current state is rather difficult
and some cvs fixes, in release form, would make their lifes easier, so
there's a better chance new pnet/libjit packages are updated in
distributions or them being added at all. (Especially the gcc4
incompatibility on some architectures is hitting them hard as more time
passes, I suppose).
I don't know if there are any real TODOs left, only some optional ones
that come to my mind:
- Fix "make dist" in pnet
- Fix some html pages on southern-storm.com.au :)
The <td> attribute on some pages has width="150", others have not - can
the owner (*hint* :) please add the width attribute to the other html
sites please, too? Otherwise it looks horrible on gecko based browsers
because it renders the page 50:50 navigation:content
(Sorry Rhys, I *had* to bring this up again :)
And I was told to make all committers aware *not* to change configure.ac
before the release so that pnet uses libjit by default - as we all now,
it's not really working yet at the moment :)
