Even though trunk isn't "feature complete" yet, I'd like us to start preparing the 0.18 release as we do every roughly 2 months. Every release consists of the following steps:
* Update CHANGES * Check/update INSTALL * Write release notes * Run ANSI tests and CL-BENCH on trunk (but preferrably also Maxima tests) * Trial-run the release script for source and binary distributions * Run ANSI test and CL-BENCH on the release trial-release archives (but preferrably also Maxima tests)
[Don't distribute the trial-release archives! We don't want several version 0.18's floating around...]
Because I'd like to distribute the work, making light work for everybody, I'm looking for takers on any of these tasks.
Bye,
Erik.

I volunteer for these tasks.
When you refer to 'release script' do you mean the associated Ant targets? Or is there something more here?

Hi Mark,

I meant the ant targets, both for source and binary distributions. If you're looking for my notes on creating a release, here's a place to look: http://trac.common-lisp.net/armedbear/wiki/ReleaseSteps
I've taken notes each time I created a release and I hope to make the check list more and more complete.
Bye,
Erik.
