Objects and time
Okay, I've just trodden on one of the nasty bits of objects, proper ordering of classes for initialization and destruction in the face of multiple inheritance. I'm doing the only sensible thing at the moment--I'm actively ignoring it. I've burned a few hours chasing down this rathole. So, the question--shall we do objects and maybe miss the Feb 29th release, or do the Feb 29th release and do objects for the next release? As I think I'm only a little while off (maybe a day or so) from getting it working, I'm tempted to take a miss on the nice date in favor of a release with Good Stuff in it, but I'm flexible there. Time to weigh in on it, though in this case the decision's up to the Release Manager, so direct your on-list arguments to Leo. :) -- Dan --it's like this--- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk

Nice dates are amusing, but of no real use. I say postpone the release. -Melvin

As I think I'm only a little while off (maybe a day or so) from getting it working, Don't post intermediate state, hack objects together ;) Objects are missing since a long time and are announced still longer. So if possible anyhow, please try to get it running. WRT feature freeze: I'd say: Starting from Tue, 24th 8.00 GMT no more feature patches *should* go in, *except* objects. leo

(Well, OK, probably not, but I'm hopelessly optimistic). Simon

Time to weigh in on it, though in this case the decision's up to the Release Manager, so direct your on-list arguments to Leo. :) Maybe we should go for a Feb 29th release, and then do objects for the next release and call that 0.1. If 0.1 is going to be a milestone of sorts, I feel the object stuff going in should be well documented and have tests and examples. It'd also be good to have feedback from the various platforms we'd like them to work on, and some time for people to toy with them a little to spot any little quirks. If there's a push to get a release done, I fear that may not happen. Of course, there may be no push to do a release, in which case I don't object to holding off until it's really ready. Jonathan

I'am writing documentation at the moment. Converting the example to use parrot objects is my next plan. leo jens
