Re: [Monotone-devel] Time for 0.99

[Thomas Keller]

A little heads-up from my point of view:

Both branches landed in mainline.

German translation was updated.

Not much happened here - Lapo said that he contacted the Italian git /
hg translators to coordinate things. I found this a pretty nice idea and
did so as well, but only got feedback from the git guy. I don't know of
the feedback Lapo got so far. I think we'll target more improvements for
1.0 here.

Americo Monteiro updated the translation as well.

No changes here.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with a release today, mainly because of two reasons:

1) Our buildbot infrastructure still does not work (Richard...?). I'd
appreciate if you could run make distcheck on the current head on your
platform and provide the results here, so we don't see breakage on any
of the major platforms.

2) I have an yet unfinished hack sitting in my workspace which should
provide better compatibility towards RFC 3986 (yes, the URI issue). I'll
hopefully fix and commit that within the next one or two days.

If everything goes fine we could release 0.99 by Wednesday or Thursday
and the remaining i18n would have to be done after 0.99, unless somebody
steps up and tells me that he still plans to do fundamental improvements
wrt i18n until next sunday...

Thomas.
