Re: 4.2.3

I think it makes good sense to release 4.2.3 as-is (after a short QA cycle, that will ensure we didn't introduce any new bugs). If 4.2.3 becomes a larger project, with more pre-requisites, I don't see it happening ("if it will not be simple, it will simply not be"). The last time around 4.2.3 died was exactly due to this issue. Zeev At 16:47 17/08/2002, Dan Kalowsky wrote:

I have to disagree, a LOT of bug fixes have gone in. Honest I can run through the list of things I think should be done, and a list of things that I think should be back ported. None of it is new functionality, all of it is fixes to bugs. And I still think the Tru64/AIX issues will need to be solved as well.

Even if we release 4.2.3 as it is in the branch, without any further fixes, it's significantly better than 4.2.2. Translating this into action - my personal preference is to release the RC as early as tomorrow. Zeev At 16:20 17/08/2002, Dan Kalowsky wrote:

Hrm, well a lot of the fixes I've been doing have only gone to head because the belief of no 4.2.3. There are still a few outstanding bugs I'd like to see fixed before things we RC. Sfox and I (mostly her though) have been looking at the dbm_* functionality on Windows. We're questioning if it ever worked at all. I can run through a list if there is a desire to see one.

in the 4.2 branch that should make the userbase as soon as possible, especially the Windows userbase. I think that releasing 4.2.3 can be done within approximately one week, with one RC, barring unexpected surprises. Opinions? Zeev
