Hi Andrew,

I look forward in helping to test this next release.

Did you include the patched from from Eric B. for CSR support?




Thanks,
Ernest

This is probably the worst time of year to try and coordinate a release, what with people taking time off work and going away, but I'm going to try anyway since we really need to get R3.14.10 out soon — it's well over 500 days since we last produced a 3.14 release, which is the longest period between major base releases ever.

Our ideal timescale for a final release date would be in early-middle August [the sounds of screaming horror come through the ether...] which is at the start of a 6.5 week APS shutdown. If we don't make this date, Eric is likely to sulk. Personally I'll be on vacation the week of July 14-18th, and for a few days at the beginning of August.

Working backwards from Release Approval on August 8th and assuming we find no show-stopping bugs, that puts 3.14.10-RC1 on August 1st and 3.14.10-pre1 on July 25th. I'd like some lee-way for finding and fixing issues though, so I'd prefer to bring that forward another week which hits my vacation week. That leaves just 2 weeks to finish up any remaining commits and bug fixes [more screaming is heard, louder this time].

How does this hit the other core developers, do we have any chance of making this timescale? I still have a number of uncommitted changes in my working area (64-bit IOC, startup/shutdown + redundancy hooks) and submitted patches for errlog and devLib that I haven't applied yet.

If you think this message applies to you, please discuss...

- Andrew
