[Phpgroupware-users] 0.9.18 release plan

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

The release plan with 0.9.18 has been nailed down.  

The time lines here are targets, not final dates.  If we had lawyers I
am sure they would advise us to say something like, do make business (or
other) plans around the information contained in this message.

These dates are slightly different to those posted recently, to allow
devs a couple of extra days, and to allow releases to be done on
weekends.

* 2 Sept Soft API freeze 
  - all api mods need coordintor approval of posted patches

* 9 Sept Hard API free 
  - no new features for the API

* 10 Sept Release of 0.9.17.900 tech preview
  - full HEAD snapshot

* 24 Sept App freeze
  - no new features in HEAD

* 24 Sept 0.9.17.951/0.9.18RC1 released 18 branched from HEAD

The final release date is dependent on testing of the RC.

A bug fix 0.9.16.011 release is also being considered.

The reason for the 0.9.17.900 release is to enable devs to play with the
new features of the API available in HEAD, with some certainty.

The following is the target supported environment

PHP 4.3-5.1 (5.2 support will be determined post 5.2 release)
MySQL 4.0 +
pgsql 7.3 - 8.1
mssql 2k3 (others?)
Apache 1.3/2.0 (2.2 subject to testing)
lighttpd + fastcgi would be nice TBC
on i386, amd64, PPC and SPARC Platforms

Watch this space for more information.

Cheers

Dave
