[GRASS-dev] release plan for 7.0.3

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer
1

Hi all,

I would like to open discussion about 7.0.3 release plan. Since we
have newly established 64bit buidls for Windows [1] this version will
be officially the first available as 64bit installer for Windows. From
this POV I think that there is no reason why to wait with soft freeze
[2]. I suggest:

1) this weekend soft freeze starts
2) before the end of the year: hard freeze + RC1
3) around January 10: RC2
4) around January 14: 7.0.3

What do you think? Martin

May I suggest that such announcement be sent as a new thread with explicit subject line ?

isn't subject "release plan for 7.0.3" sufficient enough? Ma

I think that an explicit dedicated subject line will be more efficient in ensuring that everyone sees the info.

But I'm not going to make an issue of this.

Hi devs,

according to our plan

2) before the end of the year: hard freeze + RC1
3) around January 10: RC2
4) around January 14: 7.0.3

... it is time to get RC1 out.
If there are no objections, I can package 7.0.3RC1 tomorrow in European daytime.

no objection. Martin

Hi devs,

as you may have noted, I made some further trac ticket cleanup.

Seems we are now ok for 7.0.3RC1?

I would like to open discussion about releasing RC2 in the next few
days. Is there any blockers (at least trac shows none)? Note that
final release should come not longer that one week after RC2. Martin

Looking at critical bugs:

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/335

Is anyone looking at this ? Does anyone find this important ? Should it maybe be downgraded ?

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1242

I've downgraded this as I don't find this critical.

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1662

no idea

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2252

Is there any SQL expert out there who could see if malicious use if possible ? If not, it seems to me more of a question of error handling, if yes, this definitely needs to be solved.

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2300

Has anyone tested the patch in trunk a bit ? I think this would be good to have in 7.0.3 if possible.

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2349

Is this stable enough for 7.0.x ? And is this really 'critical' ?

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2531

I agree that v.parallel is basic functionality which should "just work", so in that sens this bug should be fixed. Does anyone have any pointers of where to look based on the initial assessment ?

- https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2814

Noone except for the OP has been able to reproduce this at this stage.

Personally, I think that #2300 could probably be backported. I don't see how this can create any serious issues, but then again, that's probably just my lack of imagination :wink:

If possible, I think that #2252 and #2351 would also be great to have fixed.

Yes - and in 2-3 weeks there is OSGeoLive 9.5. Feature freeze in which
I would like to see 7.0.3

I don't know if it's critical. But definitely should be backported at
the beginning of release cycle and not few days/hours before RC2. I
took liberty to move milestone to 7.0.4. Ma
