[mcclim-devel] Annc: Freeze for Mothering Sunday release

[Andreas Fuchs]

Hello everybody,

this message marks the begin of the freeze period of McCLIM proper
(that includes all lisp files in the mcclim/ root directory,
Backends/, Goatee/ and Lisp-Dep/) for the Mothering Sunday release.

Apps/, Examples/ and Experimental/ are due to freeze next monday.

This means for you,

the user of McCLIM:

 Please help us test McCLIM. Running every available CLIM app, running
 the examples, building on different lisp implementations, trying
 obscure things, and sending reports of bugs you find are all very
 much appreciated (especially the sending reports of bugs part). The
 more bugs we find now, the better the release will be.

the McCLIM developer:

 Bug fixes only, please. And please stick to conservative commits:
 fixing a bug in the layout protocol is ok, but rewriting the layout
 protocol should wait until after the release. If a bug can only be
 fixed by a big change, the fix should wait until after the release -
 the bug will be mentioned in the release notes.

 The intent is to release something that resembles the state of
 today's McCLIM as closely as possible, but without the easy-to-fix
 bugs. (-:

Cheers,
