[Qgis-developer] QGIS 0.9.2 release plans (and new bug triage!)

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

QGIS 0.9.1 is tagged and only work to do really on it is packaging and
press releases which we are aiming to happen by Dec 10 2007 (early
next week).

Turning our release machine to 0.9.2 I want to keep the momentum and
reach my release nirvana of a minor point release every two or so
months. The 0.9.1 bug triage was a great success (70 bugs killed!) and
so I've started a new triage page for 0.9.2 here:

https://svn.qgis.org/trac/wiki/BugTriage0.9.2

There are still some low hanging fruit in the bug queue so it will be
really good to get rid of those first. I've also started a new release
checklist:

http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/ReleaseChecklist0.9.2

and bumped the version numbers and splash in trunk up to 0.9.2. Could
we hold another developers meeting next week to discuss plans for the
0.9.2 release. Currently there seem to be the following possible
feature additions:

- raster transparency branch merge
- diagram branch merge
- advanced editing merge
- qml / default symbolisation (and some vector props dialog cleanups)
- Jürgen was wanting to make some changes to CMake (use only relative
paths for install prefixes)
- I would like to start going through the dialogs and addressing
consistency issues (label capitalisation and writing style, layout
consistency, reduce unneeded popups etc). I wont have time to go
through all dialogs, but I would like to start with the grass dialog
(I've posted some thoughts on this to the list last month).
- anything else?

No doubt not all of the things above will make it into 0.9.2 but it
would be good to get together and discuss what can / cant be done.

Regards
