Release candidates are good to have. But with tortoisehg being very far from 1.0, we expect to see a lot of bug reports on each releases (and release candidates too). So I am not sure how much RC can really help us. > One way to do it would be to have 1 week period from RC to release.

We really need more 'full-time' developers) It takes a lot of energy to cut one release of TortoiseHg, and it's not really something I can afford very often. If anyone would like to volunteer to take care of this, then maybe we can make the release process more 'formal', ie. RC before final release. Hopefully thing will be simpler by the time we are done simplifying the build process. > But just having the occasion might attack a little more resources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
