Title: 0.10 status
Post by: keystroke on December 02, 2014, 06:08:31 AM
How is development going? On target for a release in January? IIRC the team is switching to twice yearly releases, is this correct? Looking forward to the changelog. :)

0.10 is coming along very nicely. I feel pretty good about this release, not everything I wanted in it made it in but there are many important improvements.

Wumpus will likely comment more, but my opinion is that we could move to RC basically any time, although there are still some smaller but important bug fixes being hammered out and since we know about them they'd be better to get in prior to RC.

But you don't have to ask here to find out the status, the development is all in the public... you can go look at the changes yourself now-- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commits/master

The code as-in in git master is very close to what will be released as 0.10. There are no large merges pending anymore, or large blocker issues. The last few days have been mostly small bugfixes.

Issues and pulls still blocking the 0.10 release can be found here (but doesn't include all the small stuff):

You can help by testing the current master. It would be good if the current state got some testing before the first release candidate.

I'm waiting with the rc release until Cory gets back from holiday next week, to handle build system issues which will likely come up with the new release process and gitian.
