Hi folks. Picking up the 2.6 code from where I left off is proving to be a challenge - I was pulled off it in the middle of something & it doesn't compile.. so it's going to take a day or two to get my head around what is going on so I can get back on track. Current plan is: Release a1: Fix 2.6 bugs in last release, make sure things that were broken work. Go over rules for database upgrade, and add a rule to handle the 2.5 bug where it created tags for directories instead of branches. Also todo.. fixup the website to move OSS development towards 2.6/evs. Known issues: 1. Doesn't compile!!! 2. Checkout a single file doesn't work correctly (logic error in the recursion). 3. Checkout of old release doesn't always get correct filename (code correct but upgrade seems to have made an error during translation). 4. Directories being marked with tags rather than branches (2.5 bug propogated during upgrade). 5. If a directory has a static tag, shouldn't allow any operations against it - currently fails silently. Release a2: Merge in changes from 2.5.x, check everything still works and fix as necessary. Release a3: Implement rename command (backend code has worked for a while, just needs the command to issue new ones). Move extension DLL interfaces into cvsapi as much as possible (mostly done, but there's still some stuff in cvs.exe). Allow DLLs to add and modify existing commands somehow (eg. audit should be able to redirect the history command to its own database without changing the core code). Get cvscontrol repository browser and read-only DAV interface working. Have plugin interface for this for eg. web based control panel. ------- All of the above I hope to get done within about 6 weeks (may split some of the more complex stuff in a3 into an a4.. depending on time constraints). The hardest bit is this week whilst I re-familiarise myself with the code.. once that's done I'll be able to move fairly quickly. After release a3 there will be an official preview release & as much of a bug squash as possible, followed by a couple of RC builds and the first stable release (timing depending on nature of bugs/feedback).
