Walter has a DIP currently in Draft Review that is a critical
feature for the implementation of safe ref counting. It needs to
have priority through the DIP process.
Before I move it to Community Review, it should be vetted for a
couple of weeks in the Draft Review. Anyone who has the time and
interest, please cast your eyes upon it and attempt to destroy it
to the best of your ability:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/158
To be clear, this DIP will not hold up the process for anyone
else. The new schedule means that normally, there is one DIP in
Community Review beginning the first week of a month, one DIP in
Final Review beginning the third week of a month, and one DIP in
Formal Assessment beginning the first week of a month. When a DIP
needs priority, or when other circumstances warrant it, I may run
other another DIP review in parallel with any other review round.
Here's my current schedule for upcoming DIPs:
DIP 1020 Community Review Round 2: Starts sometime next week. I'm
awaiting a PR from the DIP author with the necessary revisions.
DIP 1019 Final Review: This will begin at some point in the week
of July 17.
DIP 1021 Community Review Round 1: Depending on how the Draft
Review goes, Walter's proposal will become DIP 1021. I plan to
begin the first round of CR in parallel with the Final Review of
DIP 1019.
DIP 1022 Community Review Round 1: The current candidate for DIP
1022 is the "Multiple Template Constraints" proposal:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/131
If that's not ready in time, the next candidate is the "Foreach
auto ref" proposal:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/133
Whichever one get the nod will begin the first round of CR in the
first week of August. If you haven't yet participated in the
Draft Review for either, please give them a look.
DIP 1020 Final Review: Assuming the second round of CR is the
last, this review will kick off in the third week of August.
Given that 1019 and 1020 are essentially alternate proposals for
the same feature, I'll be making an exception for the Formal
Assessment and run them both in parallel. I'll hand them both off
to Walter and Atila in the first week of September.
