Hi Michael, Sorry for the late reply; it's been kinda busy around here. If there are places left, I'll definitely be there at the summit. Congratulations on your impending doom! (And sorry to hear that you might not be there in Florence.)

Python 2.6.7rc1
by Barry Warsaw May 6, 2011

May 6, 2011

I actually made the 2.6.7rc1 release and pushed it out to dinsdale, but Martin tells me that the hg and svn branches for 2.6 are not synchronized. Dang, I should have checked that first. I'm going to hold off announcing the availability of 2.6.7rc1 until I have some time to synchronize the branches, and possibly decide whether to do the actual release from hg or svn. Issue 12024 is the release blocker for this. It might mean doing an rc2, but I probably won't get to that for another week. Which I think is okay, because this is basically a self-imposed deadline. Cheers, -Barry

Python 3.2.1 schedule amendment
by Georg Brandl May 4, 2011

May 4, 2011

Service announcement from your friendly release manager: Since 3.2.1 is the first release from Mercurial, I'm likely going to need extra time figure out the best process, and to go through PEP 101 and fix it (XXX what do we do with the SVN instructions, which are still valid for 2.6?). Therefore, I've decided to go through the process this weekend already, in order not to screw up the only rc for 3.2.1 (planned for next weekend). And while I'm at it, I figure I can make the result public in any case, so there will be a 3.2.1 beta 1. Since I'm going to work in a separate release branch (clone), there won't be freezes anymore and the additional release won't disturb development during the weekend. Martin, Ned: I would say it's not mandatory for the beta release to have binaries, but you might want to test out your toolchains against the new process too. Georg

Python 2.6.7 schedule
by Barry Warsaw May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

I'd like to make a Python 2.6.7 release candidate this Friday, May 6, with a final release scheduled for May 20. I've put these dates on the Python Release Schedule calendar. This will be a source-only security release. I see no release blockers for Python 2.6, so if you know of anything that must go into 2.6.7, please be sure there is a tracker issue for it, that 2.6 is marked as being affected, and with a release blocker priority. Cheers, -Barry

Thanks to http://www.python.org/dev/daily-dmg/ , I've been able to work off of the head every day. Python 3.2.1 is in pretty good shape :-) Raymond
