I've just uploaded Eugene's Windows binaries to the ftp server and
will
wait 24 hours for the mirrors to sync before doing the alpha 1
release.
Once that's done, we should start getting more feedback. But, as was
said in our developer's meeting today, the master branch is pretty
stable, so we hope to be able to move forward pretty quickly
towards beta.
Toward that end, efforts now should be focused on fixing bugs and
polishing the new features in 2.4. That said: Are there any new
features
people would still like to get into 2.4 that require format
changes? If
so, then those will be considered. Features that do not require
format
changes can also be considered but are less pressing, since they
could
be added during the 2.4 cycle. Once we have some sense for the
work that
needs doing, we can set a target date for feature freeze.
Please note that bugs targeted to 2.3.x and 2.4.0 are listed on
the bug
tracker home page <https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
<https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome>>.
Obviously, not all of these will get fixed, and many of them are
quite
minor. But if you're looking for something to do....
Would it make sense to remove the old wininstaller folder and do the
related stuff to the tarballs build process (how you call that), so
that it includes all the necessary files for the new installer, before
the new stable 2.4.x branch is created (save some work)? I could do
the installer part, it shouldn't take long, just waiting for the green
light.
Yes, any work you want to do on the installer stuff, you should probably
do as soon as possible. That will give us plenty of time to get it all
tested with the alpha and beta releases.
