There currently is no issues that would define when to expect 3.0.0-beta2.
A bug that alien ruleset does not install correctly in beta1 has been
reported. Addition of alien ruleset was supposed to be one of the main
end-user facing features (most of our features are geared towards
ruleset authors) in 3.0, so this is quite a drawback with the beta1.
That's adding urgency to releasing beta2. At the same time there's a
lot of things I'd like to get included in beta2 for the sake of them
being exposed to beta testing before final 3.0.0. I'm not sure if
there will be beta3 or not.
For 2.6.4 we've already resolved 64 tickets. I don't know yet
when I
will have time to work towards that release.
I'm concentrating on 3.0.0-beta1 first, so 2.6.4 will come out only
after that one.
I've now gone through commit messages up to the current date. No NEWS
created yet, though.
Created version definition 2.6.5 both to hrm and osdn, and started to
postpone some low importance / high risk changes there.
NEWS-2.6.4 created
Now concentrating on remaining 2.6.4 work. Release planned on Thursday 1.4.
There was a regression that pushed preparatory work a bit later. I'm
still expecting to release 1.4 or 2.4.
After 3.0.0-beta1 and 2.6.4, we have also S3_1-alpha1 coming out.
I've been thinking a bit about what we need for the S3_1-alpha1, but
nothing concrete yet, not even tickets created.
Some tickets created. More to come.
Not much progress - not yet a high priority.
With the added urgency of 3.0.0-beta2, it will probably become out
before S3_1-alpha1.
I've handled some maintenance patches that, depending on how you look
at it, are either finishing S3_1 branching work by cleaning things up,
or preparing for S3_1-alpha1.
I've also worked on the custom rulesets part of the default
modpack.list to get them updated for S3_1. Not finished yet.
There is likely also coming up some planning about future strategy
concerning freeciv-web support.
Some planning, and some getting-my-hands-dirty kind of
familiarization with the freeciv-web related issues, done. Expect new
tickets opened to osdn based on these learnings in a new future.
