Hi Guixers, The last v1.1.0 had been released [1] a couple of months ago. Since then, a lot of commits with nice features. And new features deserve new release. :-)
What do you think if the freeze starts on this Friday Oct., 2nd and the unfreeze as soon as possible? (Ideally less than one week.) To help the release process, please: a. test – especially the installer [2] b. fix bugs severity:important,serious [3,4] or report c. proofread the last manual [5] d. translate e. highlight an item to ease the list of important changes The lesson of v1.0.1 [#,@] is: please help in testing the installer. :-) Some of us will dedicate this Friday Oct., 2nd to test and address bugs. Please join the collective effort on #guix and let coordinate there. The idea is to tag the release candidate v1.2rc1 on this Fri, Oct., 2 evening (CET) and then release one week later on Fri, Oct., 9 (if everything works well!). How does it sound? All the best, simon [1] <https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/gnu-guix-1.1.0-released/> [2] <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#System-Installation> [3] <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=severity%3Aserious+is%3Aopen> [4] <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=severity%3Aimportant+is%3Aopen> [5] <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html> [#] <https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.1-released/> [@] <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35541>
