As per the schedule, http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/bindings/#ApiFreeze the GNOME Platform Bindings are now in API freeze. Well done everyone - I know it was stressful. The final GNOME Platform Bindings 2.6.0 release is still planned for April 5th, with a release candidate release on March 29th. Before the Full API/ABI freeze on April 5th, I am sure there will be some small API changes that you would like to make. But you need to ask persmission for these from me on [email protected]. This is what other developers do for GNOME modules: http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#ApprovingFreezeBreaks So far no other member of the release-team has volunteered to help with this, so I will try to be wise. I will respond quickly to these requests, and I am likely to approve requests which - Add just 1 or 2 functions. - Change functions without breaking applications or their source builds. - Can not wait for GNOME Platform Bindings 2.7/2.8 This process is meant to encourage you to - Think seriously about how necessary the changes are, and whether you have time to test new API before the Full Freeze. - Concentrate on bug-fixing of existing API. Also, I will be able to see if you need to make too many API changes. This would suggest that a binding is not really ready for API freeze, and might not achieve the 2.6.0 release on schedule. That's unlikely to happen, but I have to watch out for it. -- Murray Cumming www.murrayc.com [email protected] _______________________________________________ language-bindings mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/language-bindings
