There have been some rumblings of "when will 1.2 be released?"
This is a valid question as our initial goal -- to have Zyn 2.5 ready for
the 1.2 -- release put us behind a bit more than expected and has allowed
some new features to make it in (good, bad or indifferent).
The short answer is: We can release 1.2 anytime and now is a good time to
start the release candidate process.
*So what's needed to get us to an R.C. build?*
- We have 24 pull requests that need to be decided if they go in prior
to 1.2 or in the next release.
- We have 29 bug reports tagged "1.2" that need to be decided if they in
prior to 1.2 or in the next release.
- Once ~53 items are decided, we need to merge forward any 1.1. bugfixes
to master that never made it in.
- Once merged/fixed/decided, we need to branch master into a stable-1.2
branch
- master will continue to receive new features
- stable-1.2 will only receive bug-fixes
- We release a 1.2 release candidate. We back-version these. The
version will be:
- RC1 - 1.1.90
- RC2 - 1.1.91
- RC3 - 1.1.92
- RC4 - 1.1.93
- *Note: *For those using pre-packaged versions (Windows, Apple) to
help report bugs, the downloads will appear on our downloads page as
prerelease versions (the download buttons will be yellow rather
than blue).
- *Note: *For those not using pre-packaged versions (Linux, BSD)
you'll need to compile the stable-1.2 branch by hand.
- Once we're at a time where 1.2 is stable enough for a release, we
publish to Facebook, Google+ and our front page.
*How can you help?*
- A good starting point is to help make decisions on the pull requests
and bug reports by reading them.
- Help find bug reports that need to be marked as 1.2 but haven't yet.
Don't have access to tag a bug? Just comment and an admin will do it for.
- We don't have much promotionally for the 1.2 release yet. Here's a
list of features

if you have the capacity to make some propaganda.
