Release Notes time!

2011-02-25 Thread Paul Cutler
Dear developers,

I heard a rumor that GNOME 3.0 has some small changes to the GNOME
desktop and GNOME development platform.

Assuming that rumor is true, it's time for you to tell us what those
changes are!

Please update the release notes page on live.gnome.org[1] - please
explain the changes in the UI, apps, a11y, development and more.  Link
to blog posts, wiki pages or mailing list posts if they have
additional detail.  Please be aware that the writers of the release
notes will come to you with questions if additional detail is needed.
Nothing is too small and we'll do our best to get everything in.

For past examples, please review the 2.31 page on the wiki as well.[2]

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please let me or the marketing team know if you have any questions.

Paul

Release Notes Time!

2013-02-27 Thread Allan Day
Hi all,

It's that time again! GNOME 3.8 is due for release on 27 March: that
means we have about two weeks to get the release notes fully written -
that's not much time at all.

Enter a trance-like state. Cast your mind back over the last six
months. Ask yourself: is there anything I have done that will benefit
users, developers or administrators? Come back to the world and write
it down on the release notes wiki page [1]. Be happy.

The sooner we have this information the better, so please don't delay.

Thanks in advance,

Allan

Release Notes Time

2013-08-27 Thread Allan Day
Hey everyone,

3.10 is shaping up really nicely, and it's time to start thinking
about what we want to put in the release notes. Please, please spend a
bit of time to make a note of anything you have done this cycle:

https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointNine/ReleaseNotes

The earlier you can provide this information, the better job we can do
of communicating all your fantastic work.

Yes, it's that time already: 3.18 is starting to loom, and we need to
collect information on the great work that everyone has done over the
last 6 months.

If you've worked on anything user (or developer) facing, we need to
hear about it. Don't worry about whether the change is too small to
mention - the more information we have, the better.

Hi everyone!

The 3.19.x cycle is drawing to a close. With the UI freeze behind us, it is
time to think about all the cool stuff that will be released with 3.20. So,

It's Release Notes time!

2010-08-21 Thread Paul Cutler
Can you feel it in the air?  It's that time when we start writing
release notes to tell our users and developers what's coming in the next
GNOME release!

Thank you to the Anjuta team for adding some bullet points about what's
coming in GNOME 2.32.

Now I need YOUR help!

What new features does your application have?  What bug fixes?  What new
libraries have we deprecated for the GNOME 3.0 release next year? What
are the cool new things developers need to know about GNOME's
development platform to write awesome apps in GNOME 3.0? What's new in
accessibility?

This is the last (we promise!) release of the GNOME 2.x series - let's
document the release as best we can.

Add your news here:
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ReleaseNotes

Thanks in advance for the help!

We are now under a month from release - and we need your help!

Thank you to those of you who have added content for the Release
Notes, but I have a nagging suspicion we're missing some stuff.

We have so far:

Users:

* GNOME Shell overview & panel fall back
* Apps: Control Center, Cheese, Evince and Nautilus

Developers:
* Anjuta, Cheese
* Developer docs
* GNOME Panel

Are there more apps?  What about GTK3 for developers?  Accessibility?

I'm going to start writing a first draft of the release notes very soon.
There are still a bunch of apps that are missing from the preparatory
notes [1], however. I know for certain that there have been improvements
to gedit... What about Empathy? What about games? What about Rhythmbox?
What about EoG?

All we need are a few bullet points and any relevant links you might
have.

Hi,

We're still pretty light on content for the upcoming 2.32 release.  I
understand with GNOME 3.0 being pushed out 6 months some features
weren't backported and some developers are doing a maintenance release. 

If you do have new features, please add your application changes to the
release notes page[1] as soon as possible.

Every little thing counts - if I don't know about it, I can't write
about it!

document the release as best we can.

Add your news here:
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ReleaseNotes


Since many distributions ship GNOME 2.x in Long Term Supported releases,
it might make sense to continue releasing updated modules with bugfixes
and its possible that some GNOME 2.x modules may continue to be
maintained (such as those needed to support non-OpenGL users).

Therefore, it might not make sense to say that there will be no more
GNOME 2.x releases.  If, at some point in the future, there are enough
important accumulated bugfixes in GNOME 2.x, it might make sense to
do more GNOME 2.x releases.  Just to help ensure that distros have
available the highest quality GNOME 2.x code with the latest security
patches, etc.

Last 2.x release, but not last 2.32.y release? I'd assume accumulated
bugfixes would just warrant another few micro releases, as they always
have done.

However we want to handle it, I think we should be clear in the release
notes that we have a plan in place for managing releasing ongoing
support for GNOME 2.x, at least for a reasonable period of time.
People reading our release notes should be assured that if their distro
ends up providing only GNOME 2.x for a while, that we will continue to
support them.

We want to avoid distros patching GNOME 2.32 and not providing those
patch fixes upstream, for example.  If we give the impression that
there will be no more releases, distros might not let us know about
bugs or fixes they have.

Also, it's hard to predict the future, so making proclamations about
the last release only beg contradiction later on.  Perhaps we could
word it in a way that highlights that we do not have any future planned
releases, but avoid proclaiming that we will never do something.

Hi!

Such a plan would probably not be worth the paper it is written on. Sure,
there will be 2.32.x releases until GNOME 3.0 is released but I doubt that
any module maintainer will have time to do anything afterwards. If patches
accumulate in bugzilla, people might make other release but that's not
much more than bringing distro patches upstream.

Note also that the LTS releases of distributions all use 2.30.x anyway and
it's very unlikely that they update to 2.32.x.

Overall, the non-OpenGL parts will have 3.0 releases so these people
aren't required to run GNOME 2.32 but can switch to 3.0 instead (without
much 3.0 feeling though...)

Johannes

  I tried my best to help you out in this regard while fixing all the
critical issues in rygel and the deps in time for GNOME 2.32. What do
I get in return? You completely ignored my project in the release
notes rather than helping me out by putting the features I put-up on

To be honest, Rygel in 2.32 isn't the experience we want to offer to
users. We still have separate capplets for Rygel, gnome-user-share, and
vino, and we'd want to merge all that under one panel for 3.0.

Given the user experience, I don't feel so bad that it was ignored from
the release notes this time, and we can offer a much better user
experience when we get to 3.0, and publicise it.

  /me nods. Hopefully we managed to do all those things in time for GNOME 3.0.

  I already apologized Paul for being rude on IRC and here is another
apology. For the record, This was all a misunderstanding between me
and Paul and that he had very little time to write the release notes.

3.2 Release Notes time - Help needed!

2011-08-31 Thread Andre Klapper
Hi everybody,

it's time to start preparing the 3.2 release notes to tell our users,
developers and press what's hot and new in the next GNOME release!

This means: We need YOUR help!

What new features does your application have? 
What important bug fixes? 
What accessibility improvements do we have? 
Which modules have switched to topic-based (Mallard) user documentation
in the last six months? 
What are the new things developers need to know about GNOME's
development platform?
What hasn't been done for 3.2 but is on your list for 3.4? (section
"Plans for the next release")

Please take two minutes and add your news to
   https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/ReleaseNotes
so we can tell the world!
Linking to screenshots or descriptive blog posts is also welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everybody,

This means: We need YOUR help as you know best!

Please take two minutes:
 * What new features does your application/module have?
 * Any usability, performance, internationalization or 
   accessibility improvements?
 * Any very important bug fixes to mention?
 * What are the new things developers need to know?
 * What is on your list for 3.6? ("Plans for GNOME 3.6")

Add anything that comes to your mind to

 https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/ReleaseNotes

And be quick as the release is already in 3 weeks. ;-)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Time is running out, people! If you have any changes for the release
notes, now is the time to get them on the wiki [1].

We have matter of days to get the notes drafted, and there are still
plenty of applications that are yet to make an appearance.
