[GRASS-dev] Release of 7.8.6 ?

Hi everyone,

Colleagues of mine are being bitten by https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1793 while teaching. It seems that wxpython 4.1 is becoming more widespread and so more and more people seem victim to this.

I was unaware of this bug. IMHO it probably should have warranted a quick release just for that solution, as it makes calling the module GUIs difficult, so basically rendering GRASS GIS useless for people who depend on the GUI.

So, where are we at with the release of 7.8.6 ? At the meeting last week we said it should be released ASAP. Anything some of us can do to speed the process ?

right, 7.8.6 needs to release ASAP. New release also fixes
g.extension. It would be nice to merge [1] before release.

recently I made necessary changes (see related PR [1]) in order to
build a `grass` package on the top of OSGeo4W v2 including a
standalone installer, which you can test [2].

I would suggest publishing RC3 after merging PR mentioned above. If
there are no objections I will merge PR above and release RC3 in the
next few days.

Hi All!

There are some fixes that are labeled for backport for 7.8.6 [1] and yet another bunch without milestone [2], but haven't been backported.

I know this is in the nick of time, after the release of RC3, but if there is a very important fix it shouldn't be left out. Otherwise the milestone should be set/bumped to 7.8.7.

Best, Nicklas

Martin, Vaclav,

Where are we at concerning the 7.8.6 release ? Did you work on this during your code sprint ? (sorry I was busy with a code sprint of my own at work, so I couldn't join).

RC3 is out [1]. You can test Windows standalone installer [2]. OSGeo4W
package is also available.

[1] is not possible to easily backport without solving conflicts. I
took liberty to change the milestone to 7.8.7.

[2] https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+label%3Abackport_needed+no%3Amilestone

I would suggest removing `backport_needed` for [2,3,4] or to set the
milestone to 7.8.7.

Let's release 7.8.6 as it is (with an already big delay). If there are
no objections I will prepare a 7.8.6 release in upcoming days. Martin

7.8.6 is out [1]!

* trac page updated [2] - feel free to improve
* PR for website prepared [3] - please contribute/review (we need a
new fancy screenshot for announcement)
* WinGRASS binaries 64 ready for testing (standalone installer [4] and
osgeo4w v2 [5])
* WinGRASS addons build activated [6]

What is missing:

* wingrass 32bits (will do it today)
* ubuntugis unstable (will do in next days)
* do marketing [7]
