[Qgis-developer] Is the new release schedule a success?

[Sandro Mani]

Hello

Just one curiosity: are unit tests run on all main platforms before 
release? Apparently the nasty OgrConnectionPool issue triggered a 
failure in the test suite on OS X, whereas on Linux it did not. So this 
might be something worth considering for future releases.

Best,
Sandro
