Ready to branch?

[Tim Sutton-4]

Hi folks...

We need to press ahead with the release as soon as possible.

It would not be good to start the hackfest while the freeze is still in effect.

Can you please +1 this message if you are happy to release or otherwise provide a substantial reason why we shouldn't.

I will include a note with the release announcement explaining that this is a rush release and suggesting that conservative users stay on 1.5 if they already have it installed.

I am travelling at the moment but, internet willing, will branch for release tonight barring major objections.

Regards Tim

Polish team is ready for branching (excluding half-sleeping Milena;) )

That's a pitty we use even numbers for relatively unstable releases (1.4 and
now 1.6) and then try to polish them as odd numbers. For the 2.x series, maybe
we shoud try to focus on stability, performance and polishing in the even
versions :)

I'm updating the GUI translation, hope to finish it by this evening. Anyway I do not
think we should stop for this, so +1, if not for a regression I think we should fix
before the release, if it's a general phenomenon:
switching layers off does not work the first time. If I switch of, then on, the off
again, it's ok.
All the best.

on win7 it behaves the same way.

Hi,

I don't know if the branching already happened and I am in no position to
influence you developers about when to branch - but I would like to know
if the issues around nested grouping and more powerful re-arranging of
groups and layers are properly tested and bugs resolved?

If not - I would like to suggest that it would receive more attention by
testers and developers before going forward with the release.

I recently heard that often layers aren't properly turned off and on
properly, sometimes the wrong layers and that sometimes dragging around
layers or groups acts weird.

I think that it is one of the major features in QGIS 1.6 (thank you
Jürgen) and that it should be properly tested before the release.

If the issues still exist I would not go forward with the release, as this
is an area that would immediately be visible, cause troubles and hurt
QGIS' reputation if it doesn't work as expected.

A concerted effort of users and developers should be made to resolve those
issues if they still exist.

Andreas

Cannot you just create a 1.5 _branch_, not yet the 1.5.0 tag (in SVN terms)?
With the rule that all fixes must be merged to trunk.

I just tested with the most recent nightly windows build (build 14528, qt
4.5.2) and the issue that one clicks on a checkbox of a layer and nothing
happens still exists.

One has to turn the layer off and on and off to turn it off. This is not
the case for all layers, but for some.

I heard that other people experienced similar issues (Paolo, Stefan, others).

I recommend not to go on with the 1.6 release until this issue is properly
resolved.

In theory we could do that but since the point of this release is to
evade a legal threat, I'm going to push out the release with a rider
note to users that we did a rush release etc. and a suggestion that
they stick with 1.5 if they are not happy with the changes made in 1.6
and wait until 1.7 release in December.

Tim
