Re: [glob2-devel] release policy

That's what release candidates (RC) are for. Ideally, a release is the
last RC without any modification.
But you'd have to use branches to prevent people from commiting
unwanted stuff on a RC.

hi list

to me it is bad practise to publicly announce a new release as soon as we 
decided to release it. reasons:
we regularly find bugs just after releasing
release dates are when there is only source available. that's not enough for 
our gamers community.

i propose to make release versions ready and only announce the files on this 
list and publicly announce it one week after the binaries for at least mac, 
debian and windows have been completed. otherwise people come and see how it 
goes and are frustrated as their platform doesn't run smoothly or because they 
can't play against others as they have a different version.

greetings, leo
