Next release

[Murphy, Ged (Bolton)]

We're at the 2 month period since our last release. Is it not time to branch
now and chase some more publicity

If Alex meets his 1st December deadline for User-Mode networking, I propose
a 0.2.9 branch then.

Any thoughts?

This is the exact reason I think we need to make a big push for 0.3.0
People have been waiting with anticipation since last Christmas

As Alex said a while back, 0.2.9 could be the 0.3.0 preview release.
I'm gonna help push for big publicity for the 0.3.0 release, so it needs 
to be stable.
We've already got 2 magazine deals waiting ...

[Brandon Turner]

Sounds good to me, I guess I will be publishing it?  Are we going to 
make a big push to make the release after 0.3.0?  Once networking works 
again im going to try and start debugging the simple networking apps 
that we need for 0.3.0( lynx -source, curl, and wget).

Hi Ged,

I told you on IRC, and you seemed to ignore what I was telling you...so 
I'll say it publically.
Just because I finish the CODE on December 1st doesn't mean it's ready 
to be used. I've said it numerous times (and even posted on my blog) 
that it will probably only be usable in HEAD after around December 14th. 
And after that I still have kernel-mode fixes planned for afd.sys, which 
go well beyond into January. If you branch 0.2.9 now, it won't be a 
networking release (again), and will offer little to the users.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu

I haven't 'ignored' what you were telling me. I've never even spoken to 
you about this in IRC. In fact I only started thinking it was time for a 
release this morning. If you've spoken to me about something related 
this this, I've either forgotten or missed what you said. I generally 
don't purposely ignore people.

I didn't say that it would be ready to use. Your blog says "Finish 
User-Mode Networking for ReactOS. Deadline: Dec 1st." which I assumed 
meant 'finish'.  I was simply looking for a branch date, and that seemed 
an ideal time.

I know 0.2.9 isn't going to be the networking release. I mentioned it 
could be a networking preview release as I assumed your sockets lib 
might be in some way usable, due to the 'finish' you used to describe 
what was happening on 1st Dec. Now I know it won't be doesn't change the 
fact that I think we need to branch. 1st Dec still sounds good to me if 
everyone is in agreement.
I agree with Ge on the branch often way of doing things, preferably 
every 2 months.

Ged.

Are you delibaretely skipping:

"Commit and test the User-Mode Networking branch, with appropriate 
afd.sys changes. Deadline: Dec 14th."?

I agree.

I agree too. Just don't:
1) Make it depend on me
2) Call it a networking preview. It's not.

Actually, the SourceForge page lists 29 Oct as the release date. Still, it
won't come as a surprise that I agree with Ged and believe we should start
thinking about a new release.

Let's look at this from the "Mozilla Perspective".

Why not have 0.2.9 listed as a "Developer Release", or "Networking
Preview Release"?

As has been said, not much has changed to the end user from 0.2.8

Well, I don't really care how it's called. Just plain 0.2.9 would be fine
with me though.

There have been huge advances in PnP, Firefox has very visible advanced, I'm
sure I can come up with more stuff if I bothered to look through the
commits. If you think that's "not much" I'm wondering what you consider
"much" :-).

It would be silly of us to release now, since networking is broken,
among other things.
