I blew the Release Trumpet some days ago on irc for announcing the ignition of the 1.9 Release Process. The cvs HEAD has been live and kicking for some 6 months now, used by some brave (or foolish) explorers in production environment with some known hazards (but not so many, finally).
Now we can release a public tarball of that version under the Release Candidate process that we followed for 1.8 with some enhancements that I list in the body of this article.
Quick version: Main points composing the 1.9 release process
- update changelog drastically
- prepare new bugtrackers using 1.9 tikiwiki trackers
- update all pages on tw.o linked from the bundled help system
- BRANCH-1-9 appear for 1.9 road to stability : Feature Freeze !
- 1.9rc1 will be released on june 19th (at 1:00 am ?)
