I don't like to fix bugs involving Leo's most crucial code late in a release cycle. Imo, such bugs should be fixed early in the *next* release cycle. That way the new can be thoroughly tested.
In the past, I have just postponed work on such issues until an official release has gone out the door. Now I see that such delay is not needed. I can create a new branch for any issue at *any* time! Doh! This seems obvious now, but it didn't become obvious to me until just a few days ago. *Issues deferred to Leo 6.3* The following issues entail significant changes to Leo's core. I have rescheduled them all for Leo 6.3. - #1510 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1510>: invalid characters in .leo files. - #1497 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1497>: auto-save. - #1493 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1493>: python import problems. - #1484 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1484>: problems with marks. - #1475 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1475>: sentinels in body text. Last, and most importantly: - #1437 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1437>: gnx problems in Leo's bridge. This issue has languished for far too long. *Summary* At last I see that I can begin work on a potentially dangerous issue *now, *even if it is prudent to include the issue in some later release. This allows important bug fixes to be tested immediately. The five bugs schedule for Leo 6.3 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+milestone%3A6.3+label%3Abug> all now have the "First" label, meaning that they should be merged into devel as soon as possible after Leo 6.2. The last four bugs scheduled for Leo 6.2 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+milestone%3A6.2+label%3Abug> should be safe to fix. They do not imply significant or dangerous changes to Leo's core. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
