Hello, This are the pending issues for release Pharo 6.0:
VM: === - NEW: there is a problem with latest VM and primitiveFindSubstring that needs to be fixed. - make all tests pass (there are still some failing tests when compiling a new VM). - libgit2: Still not there, Jan and Ben were trying and sent some suggestions but I still didn’t had the time to test it. Image: ===== - iceberg hit the image Fixed last week: --------------------- - win32, cairo fonts problem - leak revision by Pavel (and of course several issues not mentioned in the list). Next: - Make the release! - Test the new process and tape some videos explaining how we will contribute with a bootstrapped process using github :) By the way… this is a list we have to accomplish in order to make a release (so you know our pain): - Prepare release notes Image: - add welcome browser - generate PharoV60.sources - move SystemVersion - prepare new ScriptLoader70 package (in theory, this will not needed anymore but better to have it as a backup :P) VM: - stable for 6.0 release WebSite: - Update index - Update download page Infrastructure: - ZeroConf: Open new 7.0 development - SmalltalkCI: Open new 7.0 development - Create platform stable versions - Jenkins: move all CI projects to Pharo 7.0 (again some will not needed anymore, notable those moved to travis, but still) - And talking about travis: prepare all new process on github/travis/appveyor Pub: - announce post - announce mail - post to YC, Reddit … and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot more I will remember in the process of making the release. (which is one of the reasons why we do not have “more releases in a year”) Anyway, do not despair… we are almost there! cheers! Esteban
