Here's a suggested timetable for 2.04 releases. OK, there aren't many times, so it's more of a table. Since the new DXE code sounds like a killer feature, let's do two alphas. 2.04 alpha 1 - within a month * Ship CVS with hopefully: strto*, isnan, fchdir; uclock fixes. * Goal: Mostly C99 compliant, except for maths, wide-characters. Test what we have now, which is already pretty different than 2.03. 2.04 alpha 2 - two to three months after alpha 1 * Ship CVS with hopefully: Charles's new DXE code; fstat & stat fixes. * Goal: Mainly test out the DXE code; shake out any bugs in alpha 1. 2.04 beta 1 - decide date later * Bugfixing 2.04 beta 2 - decide date later * Bugfixing 2.04 release The uclock fixes could go into 2.04 alpha 1. Hopefully this will satisfy both camps: release soon to get some testing vs. wait a little longer for new DXE. FWIW I also read the other day that FreeBSD is not C99-compliant with respect to its maths functions. I think we can add the C99 maths functions at any point in the cycle above. Thoughts?
