Re: [Tracker] Releasing 0.7 Next Week

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

How would you feel about delaying release until end of next week? I know
we are desperate to get something out of the door but I feel an extra
week will allow us to release something thats more polished

I suggest going into feature freeze end of this week and spend all of
next week fixing bugs prior to the release (there are quite a few
annoying bugs especially in rdf classes)

We should be mindful that a release will also break a lot of existing
apps (nautilus and file chooser spring to mind). I dont know if anyone
has time to fix those? If not we will need to state clearly what apps
are broken in the release notes

Its also imperative that an update from 0.6 series to 0.7 series is
tested so we can make sure a reindex is forced and preferences are
migrated correctly - Im more worried about the upgrade process than
anything else as a hell of a lot has changed here
