Greetings,
I have accepted the responsibility of preparing the builds for
DMD and would like to engage in conversation about the way
ahead.
The first concern I have is about the build cycle. Presently,
it is nonexistent. There is no rhyme or reason regarding when
releases are produced. The v2.065 agenda (first attempt of its
kind) suggests that the next release will occur sometime in
March 2014. I'm of the opinion, however, that the cycle should
be six months long.
You shouldn't pay much attention to the length of the recent
release cycles.
The last two release cycles were abnormally long. Historically we
had a release about once a month, then that extended to two
months. In the last year the cycles became ridiculously long.
It's been completely unplanned.
But ANY time period you choose would be better than the current
situation.
