We are now past the fork point for the Isabelle2015 release. One informal
and one formal release candidate have already been published earlier; more
will be coming soon.
Here is a summary of the status of the Isabelle development process:
* https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/ is where the
final release preparations happen before roll-out in approx.
4 weeks (or more).
The starting point is
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/commits/9d8a0a6781c3
* http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle is back in post-release mode
right now (changeset b11401808dac). Anything pushed there is for the
next release after Isabelle2015.
* AFP needs to be understood wrt. isabelle-release within the next few
days, until Gerwin has made a fork of afp-devel vs. afp-2015 and
announced it publicly.
* mira tests isabelle, not isabelle-release
* isatest tests isabelle-release
* isabelle-users is the place to discuss Isabelle2015-RC versions
* isabelle-dev is the place to discuss ongoing post-release development
The isabelle-release repository has no public push access. Any changes
that are relevant for the release need to be sent to me via email
(produced by "hg export" or "hg bundle"). Changesets need to be prepared
from a current state of isabelle-release, not the ongoing post-release
development, and applied to only one of the two repository branches.
Changes to the actual code base should be limited to really important
things. Changes to documentation can be taken lightly -- we've had
relatively few updates on the manuals this time and there are still a few
weeks left to improve on the text. (I will try to revisit the
Isabelle/jEdit and implementation manuals shortly.)
During the forked state of the two repositories, big upheaveals on the
isabelle repository should be avoided, so that the isabelle-release branch
can be merged back cleanly after several weeks; but it is better to
publish small changes now than to stockpile them for a long time.
