But one of the main processes in releasing is stabalising the branch.
These fixes are also committed to HEAD.
Although there are quite a few bugs now they will all be removed before
the final release following our method of Feature Freeze, Code Freeze,
Release.
The Wiki states that the code will not be released until it's ready,
thus if we branch now, we don't finalise until the TC is happy all the
bugs are fixed, even if that takes a month.
Having a trunk freeze and then doing a branch (with the corresponding
freezes) seems to be defeating the object of doing the branch.
I thought we decided on 'branch every 2 months, whatever the state of
HEAD'. But I can't seem to find anything in the wiki.
So... where this all stands I don't know. Maybe
even skip this one
and do 0.2.9 in 3 more months and maybe that time it will be 0.3.0?
Waiting 3 more months goes against the unwritten 'release every few
months' statement.
Can a few other people chip in with their thoughts?
