Ok, it's time to rock and roll.

The SVN trunk is FROZEN for 2.5a1 from 00:00 UTC on Thursday 30th of March.

I'll post again once it's open. Note that new features can keep going in during the alpha cycle, the feature freeze only happens once we hit beta. And we're not going to hit beta until the features we want are in.

Please help in making this release as painless as possible by not checking in while the trunk is frozen.

There's a bug day on Friday. http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBugDay It seems a bit senseless to freeze the trunk the day before the bug day. All the bugs I'm planning to work on are important for the alpha. How much inconvenience will it case to delay the freeze until after the bug day? I'd say we should push the alpha a whole week rather than screw up the bug day. Jeremy Jeremy

Whoops! I _thought_ there was some vague reason in the back of my head to put it off til next week! Ok, this will be rescheduled for next week (the trunk freeze, not the bug day <wink>) - exact date to follow once the appropriate people are OK with the date. Sorry about that, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
