[GRASS-dev] Planning GRASS GIS 7.0.0RC2

+1 for going ahead with the splash screen.

Also, maybe not for RC2 but soon, it would make more sense and be more like other programs to have the splash screen come first, followed by the startup screen.

Hi,

I don’t think that we should start a poll now (voting is happening on
PSC, for other cases we have no voting infrastructure in place).
Setting up a proper poll system is not that easy and requires time
(who can participate, keep poll open for some week(s) etc).

At time it is for RC2 only anyway which we need to get out asap.

I would like to suggest (facing to RC2, which has been already postponed) to:

  1. backport current version of splash screen and startup banner as it’s in trunk
  2. backport also new version startup screen which has been improved in trunk

Then to release RC2, what do you think? Martin

+1

The only caveat is that I still have that empty window showing up for a while before the image appears shortly before the window disappears.

Apparently the wx.Yield() et line 79 of gui/wxpython/wxgui.py does not have the immediate effect of displaying the image.

Hi devs,

I would like to get RC2 out. Even if the updated splash screen is
perhaps not yet superoptimal in startup timing or whatever some
(rare?) issues are, please let's go ahead.
We accumulated important vector fixes which need to get out.

Can (a wx skilled person/Martin?) please backport the updated welcome
screen + splash screen? That's the missing issue in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7Planning#Planningongoing

thanks
Markus

done in r64495. I would wait for tomorrow's winGRASS build to test
changes also on Windows. It would be nice to get RC2 out soon (Sunday
or Monday), what do you think?

Tomorrow (Sunday) is fine for RC2, better than Monday for me.
So in approx 24 hours from now if nothing bad pops up.

one big +1 for RC2 tomorrow (after testing startup screen with fresh
winGRASS build).

I have shortly tested the fresh winGRASS build (r64501-1217) and it
seems to be OK. So no objection to release RC2 today. Please go
ahead:-) Martin

Done - RC2 is online but not yet announced to give the packagers a
chance to produce binaries.

(CMS: news written but not yet publicly visible + email announcement
written and in my drafts folder)

Martin, do you need any assistance with Launchpad build ?

I started with packaging for Windows and now on Launchpad. First I
will take a look at your previous mails. Thanks for your offer! I will
contact you in the case of questions/problems. Martin
