Re: [Freecol-developers] (no subject)
Wordpress as of v4 has a self update feature which is very nice. I am quite versed and still learning lots of new things about web design. I can code something from scratch where it can be a bit more dynamic and take advantage of a responsive design so it can be viewed on mobiles and tablets too On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 10:49 AM, Michael T.

[Freecol-developers] Next release
Caleb correctly comments that we have accumulated enough bug fixes
that a release would be beneficial to the users. However as always
there are some open issues that Would Be Nice to fix first. So I am
interested in comments as to what should be considered a release
blocker. Generally the bug tracker is in good shape, most issues
reported since 0.11.1 have been fixed or at least mitigated, and where
they have not it is usually because we need more information and/or
reproducibility to make progress.
My nominations as current blockers would be:
- BR#2757: custom difficulties are still failing
- BR#2766: There is some wierdness introduced by a cleanup of the Unit
iterators, which breaks the decision to show the End Turn message.
I know which commit it was so it can be easily backed out, but I
would prefer to fix this properly.
- BR#2776: This is a report of total fail on MacOS. I have limited
access to Macs, but should at least try to reproduce. Perhaps some
combination of moving to Java 7 and Apple's Java policies have
painted us into a corner. Hopefully there is a workaround.
We also have some bugs that I suspect are fixed, but some independent
comment would be helpful: BR#2720 BR#2732 BR#2761. The patch that
"fixes" the bug should be referenced on the BR.
Finally, there has been progress in BR#2729, but not necessarily a
full solution. OTOH the window sizing code is looking more robust, so
we have resolved to mitigate this further by switching to windowed
mode being the default in the next release. A trivial patch to do so
is attached if anyone wants to test.
Cheers,
Mike Pope
