until the RC2 or the final release (whatever comes first) though, just
to be sure he’s not going to run into some obvious bug that will give us

bad reputation.

We also have to allow lead time to reach him.  We should allow at least a

week for him to respond.  Thus for whatever release candidate we want to
propose testing, we should notify him at least at least a week before.

Otherwise, waiting until a semi-stable release seems reasonable.

I'm not sure how much time I will have the next month.  I would like to
at least help beta test, but we will see what is possible.  I'd also
be interested in making announcements on gaming sites once the release
is issued.  We ought to build a list of sites in the forum together.

Hi everyone,

as you might have noticed, the issue list for the 2.0.0 milestone on the
tracker[1] is empty. This means that we have resolved all tickets
pending for the 2.0.0 release and we can now continue with the 2.0.0
releasing procedure. Have a look at the release plan[2] again if you
are unsure, a short summary follows.

We will now enter the Release Candidate phase. For each release
candidate issued, we wait two weeks if any serious tickets are
opened. If so, the issue must be fixed as soon as possible and a new RC
immediately issued. Then the two-week phase starts again. If the two
weeks pass without serious reports, the final release is made.

That is, we should now find a date to issue the first release candidate
(2.0.0-RC1). This should be some time where at least some of us have
opportunity to monitor the tracker more closely. As for me, I’m pretty
much available during the next weeks, so I will be fine with any
suggestions you make.

For good measure, I will package a last beta version tomorrow containing
all of the recent changes, so that the RC series can start from a clean
slate.

As datahead has suggested, it might be time to call out for mrvertigo
and his YouTube channel after we released the RC1. I’d suggest to wait
until the RC2 or the final release (whatever comes first) though, just
to be sure he’s not going to run into some obvious bug that will give us
bad reputation.

Valete,
Quintus
