Caleb correctly comments that we have accumulated enough bug fixes that a release would be beneficial to the users. However as always there are some open issues that Would Be Nice to fix first. So I am interested in comments as to what should be considered a release blocker. Generally the bug tracker is in good shape, most issues reported since 0.11.1 have been fixed or at least mitigated, and where they have not it is usually because we need more information and/or reproducibility to make progress.
My nominations as current blockers would be: - BR#2757: custom difficulties are still failing - BR#2766: There is some wierdness introduced by a cleanup of the Unit iterators, which breaks the decision to show the End Turn message. I know which commit it was so it can be easily backed out, but I would prefer to fix this properly. - BR#2776: This is a report of total fail on MacOS. I have limited access to Macs, but should at least try to reproduce. Perhaps some combination of moving to Java 7 and Apple's Java policies have painted us into a corner. Hopefully there is a workaround. We also have some bugs that I suspect are fixed, but some independent comment would be helpful: BR#2720 BR#2732 BR#2761. The patch that "fixes" the bug should be referenced on the BR. Finally, there has been progress in BR#2729, but not necessarily a full solution. OTOH the window sizing code is looking more robust, so we have resolved to mitigate this further by switching to windowed mode being the default in the next release. A trivial patch to do so is attached if anyone wants to test. Cheers, Mike Pope
