This mail marks the start of the freeze period for McCLIM 0.9.2.
Erm, not quite. Last-minute feature greediness on my part (and Tim's promise to get drag & drop of presentations to work and to not break anything) have made me reconsider starting the freeze today.
An updated and final freeze mark mail will go out within 24 hours, when (hopefully) Tim has gotten presentation drag translators to work or when we backed out the change.
Thanks for your patience, (:
I want to thank the release engineer's indulgence, however selfish his motivations :) I think drag-and-drop is in good enough shape to be labeled as "experimental" and not disrupt the rest of the system. I may try to sneak in a fix or two for the highlighting in drag-and-drop, but I promise that nothing will be major.
One thing I think worth hacking on even during the freeze is the Beagle back end, which doesn't work right now due to bit rot. A couple of methods need to be implemented to at least get the address book demo working again. It would be really nice to ship the release with the Beagle back end at least limping along.
We don't have a good bug data base other than Paolo's wiki page at http://mcclim.cliki.net/Bug. This is unfortunate and should be addressed after the release in order to get ready for the next one (in a couple of months, right Andreas?), but it's all we've got for now. I'm going to add another one soon. We should take a look and see if any can be fixed easily now and which ones should be a priority for next release.
