I think this might be the way to go. Lets get 2.8 frozen now, squash the (known) bugs and aim to release ASAP. Then we open up master to cool new stuff, as we will be less concerned about breaking it. And then aim to have 2.8.1 (or 2.9) come out some time this year with reverse-run etc. (This doesn't actually change much from the point of view of those using the feature, they will still be on an experimental branch, but at least it isn't a reversion for them) With Wheezy EOL and the current LiveCD not really working at the moment I think that there is some urgency. (As a stopgap I am trying and failing to make a Wheezy / RTAI liveCD that works, and we have a patch already lined up to switch to preempt-rt and Stretch for 2.7.14, but that leaves parallel-port users potentially in trouble) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
