* Release Engineering update (Petr)
+ 3.6.0 update & post-mortem
+ all was quiet until the last two release candidates
+ only panicing at the last minute
+ was timing related / summertime ?
+ first-start / updating bug issue
+ underestimated
+ Stephan: bad timing, reported on Linux etc. used
non-released builds between.
+ by chance, Michael fixed the windows build
+ prereg feature only used on Windows, fix for issues
didn't make it into 3.6 from master.
+ systemic problem where people are encouraged to
remove their user-installation vs. moveaside & make
available.
AI: + update QA FAQs / challenge answers to encourage moving
profiles away instead of deleting (Rainer)
+ user installs can have sensitive data though,
care needed - but keep that around.
+ non-upgrades for profiles from dev / intermediate
versions
+ removing user-profile inconsistent data hid
issues
and hurt testing too
+ Always create code to upgrade / never advise
removal
of inconsistent data.
+ Rainer happy to help with profiles.
+ suggest zero tolerance policy for upgrade issues during
development
+ could have upgrade tinderbox (Bjoern)
+ be nice to have some unit tests too (Michael)
+ most important thing to get to better tests (Stephan)
+ standard test for how profile updates work (Rainer)
+ it ~never works, but put more focus on this
+ the problem was so frequent people got used to it.
+ adopt a near zero tolerance policy for upgrade issues during
development
+ bibisect can cause problems (Bjoern)
+ agree - lots of ignoring of profile problems
with WORKSFORME when profiles are removed (Rainer)
+ should not tolerate this.
+ collecting user-configuration - have a script / app to
dump it as a .zip ?
AI: + file an easy-hack to ship a binary to dump it (Petr)
+ 2x days of performance issues on the main website
+ can cause issues
+ missing MSI signatures
+ Andras forgot; normally some RC tester checks/reports
that
+ Thorsten added validation to upload scripts.
+ few native-lang projects deferred announce due to
dictionaries bug
+ 3.6.1 RC1
+ pull the timeline in - do RC1 in 1 week instead
+ freeze / checkin deadline on Monday
+ RC2 in one extra week.
+ fixes the upgrade bug earlier.
+ 3.5.6 RC2
+ tagged this week / final version
+ builds being up-loaded / announce soon - on track.

+ packagers who want sexy new templates take note ...
+ need some macro sanity checking

* Adobe Sans Pro bundling (Caolan)
+
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/08/adobe-releases-source-sans-pro-a-new-open-source-font/
+ lots of positive noise about it, no problem adding it (Caolan)
+ no Cyrillic or Greek, perhaps bundle other fonts instead (Astron)
+ we have an only-ascii font currently (Caolan)
AI: + re-think our bundled font list (Astron / design-team)
