Hi,
Can we please spend the next few days testing base but not making any changes other than documentation and any fixes for serious bugs (and perhaps the one number formatter bug reported by the testsuite). I'd really like a new base release this month, and there's not much of it left.
Sorry that I was a b it too busy, I dusted out some of my stranger platforms and am testing/building on them. From old SPARC to modern x86/64 :)
Yes, it sounds so, especially gcc 4.6 support could be interesting as some other bug fixes that were added.One thing I'd quite like to do, but am not entirely sure about ... Can we take the current svn trunk code and copy it back to the stable branch (with versioning revisions) so that we can make a 'stable' release which contains all the new/recent functionality and the support for the latest compilers and runtimes? This would have to be binary compatible with the existing stable base library (I've been trying not to introduce any incompatibilities, but can other people check this). The reason I'd like to do this is that having a new release of both the stable and development branches might get the new features out to people via different distributions more quickly. Is this a good idea?
Riccardo
