[0:23] <hannesw> leobm_: I'm coming
[14:00] <triotex> hi! someone here who can tell me when the 1.7 release is planned? maybe a new rc4?
[14:02] <triotex> some guys asked me when it will be a stable release and i have to give them an approximate release date or a rough time frame.
[14:39] <zumbrunn> I believe it is only bug 679 that is holding back the 1.7 release
[14:39] <zumbrunn> http://dev.helma.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=679
[14:49] <triotex> ah okay, so that sounds nice. i hope this will happen before xmas, we have to demonstrate a prototype of our uni project and it sounds better to tell them we are using a stable release and not the latest rc
[14:49] <triotex> and if not, i will just rename the folder and tell a good story ;-)
[14:50] <zumbrunn> yeah, well...
[14:51] <zumbrunn> we really should get into the habit of releasing more often
[14:52] <zumbrunn> my fault, too, because I always tended to favor "releasing"/announcing more RCs
[14:52] <zumbrunn> but with 1.7 even the RCs happened in stealth mode
[14:53] <zumbrunn> we really actually should be at 1.7.3 or something :-)
[14:54] <zumbrunn> or 7.0.3 for that matter
[14:55] <zumbrunn> the helma project just tends to hold back on increasing version numbers
[14:56] <zumbrunn> in many other projects, every one of the 1.x releases would probably have gotten a major version increase
[15:02] <triotex> i'm not a fan of increasing major version numbers, helma 7 might be a huge step from helma 3 or 4, but the main concepts are still the some
[15:02] <triotex> but my first contact with helma was 1.5, so not so long ago
[15:06] <zumbrunn> :-)
