Hi all,<br><br>Now that we have released CMake 2.8.3, *now* would be a great time to prioritize bug fixes for the next release of CMake.<br><br>Replies requested. Read on. <b>Just a short reply with bug numbers</b> or links to the bugs is all we need here. Please move specific discussions into the bugs themselves or start a new thread to talk about it... Replies on this thread should just be a collector for bug numbers.<br>
<br>We are aiming for quarterly releases from now on, scheduling them every 3 or 4 months. That would make the next release of CMake version 2.8.4 and scheduled to have an "rc1" release candidate in approximately mid-January, 2011, target date: Wed. 1/12/2011.<br>
<br>If you have a particular issue that you think should be fixed for inclusion in 2.8.4, please bring it up now. Ideally, each issue will be discussed as needed on the mailing list to come to any consensus about what should be done to fix it, and then an entry in the bug tracker may be used to keep it on the radar screen, and to track activity related to it.<br>
<br>Patches are always welcome. Patches that include testing of any new features, or tests that prove a bug is really fixed on the dashboards, basically any patch with testing is preferred over a patch with no testing. Also, if you are *adding* code, then you also probably need to add *tests* of that code, so that the coverage percentage stays as is or rises.<br>
<br>Please discuss issues here as needed, and add notes to existing issues in the bug tracker that you are interested in seeing fixed for 2.8.4 -- we will be looking at the mailing list and activity in the bug tracker to help prioritize the bug fixes that will occur in the next several weeks.<br>
<br><br>Thanks,<br>David Cole<br>Kitware, Inc.<br><br><br>P.S. - as a nice summary of what we've accomplished in the CMake 2.8.3 release, see here: <a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php" target="_blank">http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php</a><br>
-- it lists 89 issues that we resolved: nice job, everybody!<br><br>(About 45 of those were specifically addressed because somebody brought it up in response to my similar email from just after 2.8.2... Don't be shy!)<br>
